The Board of Education for Libertyville School District 70 voted on several routine and governance items at its Oct. 27, 2025 meeting, approving the consent agenda, adopting a community-relations policy on gifts, authorizing destruction of certain closed-session audio, and designating the district delegate to the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB).
