Parents and community members raise school‑safety and student behavior concerns at public comment
Summary
Three community members addressed the board about school safety and student behavior at Mokena Intermediate School during public comment; the board and staff acknowledged the concerns and Student Services topics were discussed in later reports.
During the public comment period on March 18, three speakers — Jackie Stojak, Lauren Bal and Janessa Dube — addressed the board to raise concerns about school safety and student behavior at Mokena Intermediate School (MIS). The minutes record that each speaker spoke to these issues; the board did not take formal action during public comment but Student Services topics were addressed later in the meeting.
In subsequent reports, Director of Student Services Megan Mundt recognized social workers and outlined upcoming special‑education family events and inclusion initiatives; the minutes show coordination between public concerns and staff reporting on student services and supports. The board did not announce a specific directive during the meeting, but the record shows staff engagement on student behavior and support programs will continue.
The minutes do not include verbatim quotes from the public commenters or specific remedies requested; readers seeking full comments or follow‑ups are advised to contact the district office or review recording archives if available.
