Community Consolidated School District 21 on April 18 named the inaugural members of its school-based health center advisory board, which will be tasked with making recommendations and providing community support and feedback.
“Over the past several weeks, I’ve had the great opportunity to review a number of applications that came from within our parent community who were interested in serving on this advisory board,” Dr. Michael Connolly, superintendent of CCSD21, told the Board of Education ahead of its vote on the measure. “We had an overwhelming number of applications from parents within our district who are also healthcare professionals, and it was an incredibly tough call to match up what we needed with what looked to be some great skill sets.”
The inaugural members include several district administrators and local healthcare professionals:
The 3,000-square-foot school-based health center is set to occupy the first floor of the district’s Community Service Center and Administrative Office, and will initially serve the district’s students, teachers and staff.
