Thank You, Outgoing CCSD93 Board Members!

On behalf of CCSD93, I express my deepest gratitude to our two outgoing Board members for their commitment to our community. Both decided to step down and not to run again for CCSD93’s School Board at the conclusion of their terms this April.

Since joining the Board in May of 2013, Mr. Scott Stone has personified dedication as a member of CCSD93’s Board of Education. During that time, including three years as Vice President and the most recent three as President, he gave generously of his time and energy to support the District. Mr. Stone devoted countless hours to preparing for, participating in, and leading Board meetings. 

As Board President, Mr. Stone led with integrity, insight and a clear focus on student success. He was a thoughtful leader who held himself and others accountable while always prioritizing the needs of students. Under him, the Board remained focused on expanding opportunities for all learners while being mindful stewards of District resources. 

He was integral in the development of both CCSD93’s Portrait of a Graduate and its 2023-2028 Strategic Plan. During his tenure, he helped to guide the district through a transformational period that saw our buildings redesigned with enhanced security and state-of-the-art innovative learning environments. He attended numerous school functions and served as a keynote speaker at 8th grade graduations.

Among the wide range of committees Mr. Stone participated in were District Learning Team, Facilities Committee, Boundaries Committee, Special Education Parent Advisory Group, Jay Stream STEM Lab Design Committee, the Board Policy Customization Committee, and Finance Committee. Mr. Stone leaves behind a remarkable legacy of leadership, and I’m deeply grateful for his guidance and enduring contributions to our school community. Thank you, Mr. Stone!

Jay Bastian was elected as a Board member in April of 2023. Driven by data and a desire to ensure all CCSD93 students are served equitably, Mr. Bastian lent his talents to CCSD93’s Finance Committee, Boundary Committee and as a liaison for the PEP Foundation. He was a principled decision maker who always worked diligently in the best interests of students. He will continue to represent and advocate for our community as a member of Glenbard District 87’s school board, which he was elected to earlier this month. Thank you, Mr. Bastian!

Welcome, Incoming CCSD93 Board Members!

Welcome Mr. Desai and Mr. Lovatt! Both are involved members of our community with children in our schools. I look forward to them bringing their experiences and viewpoints to the Board as we continue to strive to maximize the academic, social and emotional potential of each CCSD93 student.

Arbor Day Celebration: Growing Green at Cloverdale

Today is Arbor Day, and to honor it, Cloverdale Elementary School collaborated with the Village of Carol Stream to plant an autumn blaze maple tree near its playground! This species of tree was chosen for its hardiness, vibrant red and orange fall coloring, rapid growth, generous shade and its strong ability to help improve air quality by absorbing significant quantities of carbon dioxide. 

I was thrilled to join the student members of the school’s 3rd Grade Environmental Club, Principal Quintero, Carol Stream and DuPage County officials, and Mayor Frank Saverino for the planting. The students were excited to learn all about the tree and help with its planting!

Please review the following for additional news and updates from CCSD93 and our partners. Enjoy your weekend!



Sincerely,

Super Hero Day: Celebrating Inclusion & Joey's Legacy at the ECC

Yesterday, the ECC hosted its third annual Super Hero Day, celebrating the school’s inclusive environment and its dedication to helping all students succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. It began as a way to support young student Joey Burdi, who had a special love of superheroes, during his fight against a rare form of cancer.

This year’s event was bittersweet, as it marked the first since Joey tragically lost his battle in August. His parents joined as guests of honor to hand out freeze pops to all students, who enjoyed extra outdoor play time; exciting visits from Batman, Batgirl, and Bloomingdale Police Officer McGuire; and meaningful lessons about accepting, including, and empowering others. Please join us in remembering our true superhero, Joey. We will forever be #JoeyStrong. For more images, visit our Facebook page.
