Meeting Briefs: Peotone School District 207-U for July 21, 2025
PES Pickup Route Scrutinized: Resident Kacey Dewall revisited concerns about the parent pickup route for Peotone Elementary School on Oak Street, citing ongoing issues with blocked driveways and mail delivery. District officials stated the traffic pattern is developed in collaboration with the school resource officer. They noted the main school driveway is used for bus staging, making it unavailable for car riders. Dewall suggested the board explore using the school’s service road as an alternative to alleviate the impact on the residential street.

The stated purposes were to discuss the appointment and employment of specific employees, collective bargaining, student disciplinary matters, and security procedures. The board announced that no action would be taken following the session.
