DeLand-Weldon
CUSD #57

Notice is hereby given that on November 13, 2024 at 6:30 pm the Board of Education of Deland-Weldon Community Unit School District 57 will convene a public hearing to consider a proposed application for waiver or modification of the Illinois School Code’s limitation on administrative expenditure increases. Specifically, the proposed waiver/modification would permit the School district to exceed the 5% cap placed on increases in administrative expenditures (Which includes such items as administrative salaries) from one school year to the next. The proposed waiver/modification would increase the cap more than 5% due to an increase in the Superintendent salary of 5% (to keep all employment positions competitive and be consistent with the raises the rest of the employees are receiving). That raise coupled with rising insurance and operational costs will cause the administrative costs to exceed the 5% cap.  The purpose of the hearing is to receive public comments on the proposed waiver/modification application from staff, parents, students and any other interested persons who wish to address the Board of Education. The hearing will be held in the board room in the elementary school located at 2311 N 300 E Road, Weldon, Illinois.
