Board of Education Vacancy Posting
Good evening, this is a reminder that Bourbonnais Elementary District 53 schools will be closed on Monday, February 21st to celebrate Presidents' Day. School will resume on Tuesday, February 22nd. Thank you.
BESD Families,
Due to the inclement weather, BESD53 schools will be closed with a Snow Day on Friday, February 18th. Our District E-Learning Plan only allows for one consecutive day of E-Learning, so tomorrow will be a Snow Day. Thank you!
BESD Families,
For safety precautions, BESD53 will utilize an E-Learning day on Thursday, February 17th. With the continued threat and timing of the winter storm warning, all schools will be closed tomorrow but students will continue their learning at home in accordance with our District E-Learning Plan. Again, BESD53 will utilize an E-Learning day tomorrow, February 17th. Thank you!

Dear BESD #53 Families and Staff,
We are aware that there have been recent court cases and verdicts regarding face masking, exclusions, and other related topics. These verdicts have clearly impacted about 145 School Districts across the state in the past 48 hours. BESD #53 was not listed in these cases. BESD #53 already had a scheduled Special Board Meeting for Tuesday at 7:00 pm for possible School Board Action on Masking. Many of the concerns presented in the new rulings will be considered on Tuesday night by the Board of Education.
Sincerely,
Dr. Adam Ehrman
Superintendent, Bourbonnais Elementary School District #53
