Following the election of April 7, a Special Board of Education meeting was held by the Frankfort School District 157-C Board of Education on April 29.


On behalf of the members of the Board of Education, Board Secretary Edie Adamski acknowledged Christopher McFadden (2011-2015 one term); Patrick Usher (2007-2015 two terms); and Mike Turner (2011-2015 one term) for their service as members of the Board of Education. Mrs. Adamski stated, “They have served faithfully and well as Board members, have elevated the professionalism of staff, administrators and the Board and have unfalteringly given voice to their convictions as they thought they best served the interests of the school they represented. The spirit of friendship and cooperation which characterized them as Board Members will be greatly missed.” The Board adopted the Resolution of Appreciation for Christopher McFadden, Patrick Usher and Mike Turner as presented.
