On Monday, Nov. 3rd, a representative from ISAC (Illinois Student Assistance Commission) will be at the High School to help any parents that missed the Parent FAFSA workshop last week. Our rep will be at the school from 10:00am to 12:00pm.
Any families that have students that are not pursing further education past high school can also visit to receive assistance in completing the opt-out waiver for the state of Illinois.
Completing the FAFSA application or the opt-out waiver are graduation requirements for all students.

From greeting students in the hallways to sitting quietly beside those who needed a moment of reassurance, Kevin made a lasting impact on our school. His gentle presence reminded us all of the power of kindness and connection.
We are deeply grateful to Mrs. Annie Baugher for sharing Kevin with us and for the many ways they both enriched our community. Though Kevin will be greatly missed, his spirit will always remain part of our school’s heart.
The dress up day themes can be found in this flyer.

ILLINI CENTRAL CUSD189 PUBLIC HEARING
Illini Central CUSD189 will hold a special Board of Education meeting prior to its regular monthly meeting to hold a public hearing on Thursday, October 16, 2025, for the purpose of receiving testimony on the District’s proposed application for waiver of state board rules and/or school code mandates. The hearing will be convened at 6:30 p.m. in the Illini Central Professional Development Room. The regular meeting will follow the hearing.
Specifically, the district wishes to submit a waiver of section 17-1.5 of the School Code, which limits administrative costs to a maximum of 105% of the previous fiscal year’s expenditure. For Fiscal Year 2026, the district proposes a 12% increase over the FY2025 budget. This expenditure increase is due to the rise in healthcare coverage from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year 2026.
