Shortly after the new Peoria Unified School District governing board was sworn in at the beginning of the year, the new members shared a robust list of items they wanted to address moving forward.
President Heather Rooks, Clerk Jeff Tobey and board member Janelle Bowles requested about 20 items that have since been agendized.
Many have been discussed and successfully approved, but it has resulted in most governing board meetings going into the late hours of the evening, the majority of which lasting longer than six hours and one going over eight hours, running up against midnight.
