SCOTT COUNTY
COMMUNITY UNIT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1
149 South Elm Street
Winchester, Illinois 62694
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
On Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at 4:30pm, the Board of Education will conduct a hearing for the purpose of receiving public comment and questions regarding the District’s application for a renewal waiver of School Code Section 10-17. This renewal waiver would allow the District to post the Annual Statement of Affairs on the district website and make paper copies available from the District office instead of publishing in the newspaper. This would allow the District to save over $700 per year.
The hearing will take place in the Winchester High School Industrial Arts classroom located at 149 S Elm Street, Winchester, IL, during the regular Board of Education meeting.
The reason for the renewal waiver request is an attempt to divert funds from the publication costs to instructional costs.
If you have questions about this hearing, please call 217-742-3175.
