The Morton CUSD 709 Board of Education approved multiple routine action items during its meeting and then voted to enter closed session for personnel, litigation and property.
On a series of motions the board approved the revised 2026‑27 district school calendar; trustees then approved policy updates identified in the meeting as press policy reference issue 1‑21 and additional cross‑references (as presented). The board also approved a change to semimonthly payroll.
During the consent agenda the board accepted a $1,000 donation from Kyle Technology to the Morton High School band program; the superintendent thanked donors and staff for support.
All motions were passed by roll call with the trustees recorded as voting in favor.
