The Illinois Learning & Technology Purchasing Program (ILTPP) has established a Microsoft purchasing program for all Illinois K-12 teachers, staff, and students. These are licenses that students, faculty, and staff buy on their own and will personally own forever. In the past this group would have to pay $499 for Office Professional in local stores. Through this purchasing program, the same product costs less than $90. Parents and staff can literally save hundreds of dollars and obtain lifelong learning tools. All pricing and orders can be found at: http://www.cdwg.com/academic/store. From the menu on the site, choose K-12, United States, Illinois, Morton Community Unit School District 709, to see the software available.

The Board of Education is the official governing body of District #709 Schools. Members of the Board of Education make decisions on school policy, budget, curriculum and other governing issues. There are seven members of District #709 Board of Education, which are elected at large, with at least two from the unincorporated area of the Morton-Groveland communities. We meet on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at 1050 S. Fourth Ave, Suite 200, in the Superintendent’s office (entrance on Jackson). We also have Committee of the Whole meetings, usually every 3rd Tuesday, held at the different schools. The meeting location is posted at the District Office. A complete schedule of meeting dates and locations can be accessed online at Board of Education -- Meeting Dates. The public is encouraged to attend Board meetings.
We are extremely proud of our school district. Morton students are motivated and competitive, and they consistently excel. Our parents are caring, supportive, and involved. We have committed administrators, faculty and staff. We have a Superintendent who is committed, dedicated, caring and who “loves kids.” He is always striving to have us reach our highest potential as a school district. |
