Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year! A common question I am receiving is in regards to the Healthy School Meals for All. Both the Senate and House passed the Healthy School Meals for All Act in May and the Governor did sign it. What has not been highlighted or explained yet is that the Healthy School Meals for All is subject to state appropriations. At this time, the state has not appropriated any funds to reimburse the district and therefore the IL State Board of Education can not move forward with implementation of this until funding becomes available. In other words, the law passed but was not funded.

❤️ATTENTION VES & VJHS❤️ 🚙Please see the attached map with the flow of traffic for pick-up and drop-off locations for VES & VJHS students during the 2023-2024 school year. 🚌Bus Students will continue to be dropped off and picked up in the normal northwest lot.
