We are proud of you!
Illini Central CUSD #189 has been made aware of a situation involving the handling of Music Boosters funds by an individual associated with the organization. Upon becoming aware of the situation, the Music Boosters leadership promptly addressed the matter and reported it to law enforcement. An investigation is currently underway.
The Music Boosters is an independent organization that operates separately from the school district. While the District does not manage or oversee Music Booster funds, we are cooperating as appropriate. The Music Boosters organization exists to support the music program and provide opportunities for student musicians.
Student fundraising accounts are managed by the school district and are not affiliated with the Music Boosters organization. These funds have not been impacted.

Please ensure your student is on time for school these days, or they will miss instructional time to make up the exam. Students must have their CHARGED Chromebook and their Chromebook charger for testing. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 each day.
Seniors will have a Capstone Work Day at the Reimagine Building, where they will be working on their Reverse Career Fair projects. The Reverse Career Fair is on Wednesday, April 29th, in the high school gym.
All students can leave after testing is concluded each day, but MUST have a permission slip turned in to the office by Friday, March 27th . Details regarding this are included in the graphic.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Annie Baugher.
We are aware of widespread and rampant misinformation and rumors online and in the school community regarding our school and the conduct of various staff members. While we received, early last week, resignations of two staff members, their reasons were personal, and they were not terminated. It is otherwise not district practice to comment on employment matters.
School students have at no time been in danger at Illini Central schools, and there is no conduct anyone with knowledge of District affairs has alleged at this time to have put them in harm’s way – even still, with the ongoing disruption to our learning environment due to widespread misinformation, staff have been subjected to harm outside the schools from false community rumors which have, at times, been damaging to them.
The District has worked with its counsel throughout the matter, and additional investigations spawned due to community reports have had the assistance of professional investigators. School officials will pursue additional measures as become necessary to ensure the safety of staff and students at all times.
Sincerely,
Illini Central Board of Education

Congratulations, Hope! We are proud of you!
Udderly Fun is a big supporter of our local community and is always looking for meaningful ways to give back to the students and families at Illini Central.
Udderly Fun hosts play sessions at their building, 105 E Chestnut, every Friday night. They are hosting a play session at Udderly Fun on Friday, April 10th, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This date coincides with the downtown "2nd Friday Community Event,"
Udderly Fun's goal for this event is a specific charitable focus; 100% of the proceeds from this play session will be donated directly to Illini Central to be distributed between negative or past-due student lunch accounts. They know that these fees can be a burden for some families, and want to help alleviate that stress.
Please consider supporting this generous cause.
Due to the impending weather this afternoon and evening, all practices for today have been cancelled.
This afternoon's 8th-grade girls' Regional Semi-Final match with Midwest Central has been postponed to Wednesday, March 11th. It is at Beverly Manor. First serve will be at 4:30 pm.
Tutoring and after-school detention is also cancelled.
Be safe today.
