PRESS RELEASE
The Kaneland Community School District #302 seeks to add members to its Citizens’ Advisory
Committee (CAC), Finance Advisory Committee (FAC), Facilities Planning Committee (FPC),
Kaneland Connects Strategic Plan Committee and the Kaneland Foundation.
The mission of the CAC is to improve Kaneland schools by advising the Administration and
regarding educational and other issues facing the district. Members study and deliberate problems,
issues, and questions of concern to the district and report the results of their studies to
Administration. The CAC also advises the Administration regarding policies of the district and
facilitates cooperation and communication in educational matters between the school and the
community.
The mission of the FAC is to improve the education of all students of the district by monitoring
financial issues and trends facing the District and advising the Administration regarding them.
The mission of the FPC is to maintain and improve the educational programs and services for
Kaneland students by advising the Administration regarding current facility usage and projected
future site and facility needs.
The Kaneland Connects Strategic Plan Committee is excited to expand and look for new
community members. This committee takes time to review the ongoing progress of our District’s
Strategic Plan. If you are interested in serving on the Strategic Plan monitoring committee please
contact Dr. Sarah Mumm at 10358@kaneland.org.
The Kaneland Foundation is a non-profit organization that has contributed for decades to the
educational needs of the students of Kaneland District #302. Their mission is to support academic
excellence through innovation. Foundation Directors meet several times during the school year
and host an annual golf outing held in August each year.
In preparing to add members to these committees and to the Foundation, please know that varied
representation from the Kaneland community is highly valued. Administration seeks a cross
section of opinions and educational perspectives with a general ability to work constructively with
others. By-Laws of each advisory committee differ in membership numbers and length of terms.
Administration will determine from said By-Laws, the number of members added to the advisory
committees and the Kaneland Foundation.
More than 50% of Kaneland households have no school-aged children in them and those
households should be represented on these committees. If interested in learning more about
membership on the CAC, FAC, FPC, the Kaneland Connects Strategic Planning Committee or the
