The Mattoon Community Unit School District 2 board of education met at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9.
"School boards have the responsibility to represent the wishes of the people and to exercise lay control of educational goals and directions. Individual board members have no legal powers. A board member's power can only be exercised through the collective board action at a publicly convened meeting. In Mattoon, board meetings are regularly scheduled on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m."
