River Forest School Board holds public hearing on E‑Learning policy; no public comments received

The Board of Education of School District #90, Cook County, Illinois, convened a public hearing on April 15, 2025, at 7:03 p.m. at the Roosevelt Library Learning Center to receive comment before renewing its E‑Learning policy. Board President Ms. Stacey Williams opened the hearing and announced that "the public hearing as advertised would proceed."

Mr. Anthony Cozzi, the district recording secretary, stated that "a notice was published in a local newspaper at least 10 days in advance of the hearing," and Superintendent Dr. Ed Condon said that "by statute, before the Board renews an existing E‑Learning policy, it is required to conduct a public hearing for public comment regarding the policy." No members of the public offered comment when the board solicited input.

With no public testimony and no further discussion on the policy, the public hearing was adjourned and the board moved into its Regular Board Meeting agenda. The minutes note the board members present (Ms. Stacey Williams, Mr. Joseph Cortese, Dr. Nicole Thompson and Dr. Eric Isenberg) and list district staff in attendance. The signature block in the minutes reads "Katie Avalos President" and "Secretary," which differs from the roll call naming Ms. Williams as president; the minutes contain both entries as recorded.

Because no public comments were made and no substantive discussion of policy details appears in the hearing record, the board took no immediate policy action at the hearing itself; any decision on the E‑Learning policy renewal will be reflected in later board agenda items or minutes if and when formal action is taken.
