“With the bar set high, there's no doubt that the district's educators and staff will indeed 'Do More in 24.'" #district149

Dolton School District 149 is in the middle of district-wide transformation program to improve student education outcomes... #dolton

This was not the first person to go overboard in their attempts at retaliating against us but will hopefully be the last. #ecwd

Now armed with a $150,000 grant approved by the Illinois General Assembly in early January for Dolton 149, Tillman wants the district to use a portion of that funding to relaunch the annual summit. #district149

These vital projects boost economic development, build up regional transportation and improve the quality of life throughout Cook County. #cookcounty #transportation

Board of Education President Wilbur Tillman expressed his “deepest gratitude” to State Senator Elgie Sims (D-Chicago), the chair of the Illinois Senate Appropriations Committee, who sponsored the grant for the district. #dolton149

“Replacing the 50-year-old windows in the school buildings will ensure that each classroom has circulation of fresh air, that classrooms are warm in the winter and cool in the early summer months,” said Tillman. #WilburTillman

While children received toys and other treats, moms, dads, and grandparents also shared in the holiday season’s good will. #dolton #christmas

During the meeting, the board appointed Mercedes Francisco to the alleged vacant board seat created by the board’s unlawful removal of another board member. #EdgarCountyWatchDogs

“Mercedes Francisco is a clear education advocate. With two children enrolled in the district, she will strengthen the district's connection to the interests of parents and provide the type of leadership that the Dolton 149 Board of Education needs,” said Board President Wilbur Tillman #DoltonSchoolBoard149
