We are truly saddened to announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Mrs. Lisa Keysboe, teacher at Kennedy School.  She touched the lives of many students, parents, and staff members during her 26 years with District 111.  Our deepest sympathies go out to the Keysboe Family during this difficult time.

The State of Illinois has declared the General Election Day a state holiday.  Therefore, the 2020-21 School Calendar has been revised as follows:

Burbank School District 111 will have four school board seats to be filled at the April 6, 2021 Consolidated Election.  Candidates who are elected will fill four-year terms expiring in April 2025.

We are currently in the process of putting together a plan that brings our students back for in-person learning beginning sometime in early November.   We’ve been in collaboration with Reavis High School, Stickney Public Health District, and our Teachers’ Union to finalize plans.  The actual date of return will be determined once we have updated data on the number of students returning to hybrid in-person instruction.
