Role of The MCHS District #111 Board of Education

The Minooka Community High School District 111 Board of Education is composed of elected representatives from the District 111 community. In Illinois, public education is the state's constitutional responsibility. The state delegates the authority to govern school districts to local school boards. Boards are made up of seven district residents elected to serve staggered terms of four years without pay. So, although the board is politically responsible to district voters, it is legally responsible to the state.

Specifically, the MCHS District #111 Board of Education works to:

  • adopt goals and policies that meet state requirements and reflect community needs;

  • provide the resources necessary to pursue its goals according to its policies; and

  • monitor district performance to see that results are consistent with goals and policies.

The MCHS District #111 Board of Education operates under a committee structure. Committees consist of two to three board members, along with Administrative advisors. The committee structure allows board members to study issues in depth, and assist in forming recommendations for action by the full board.

Committee work takes place in open meetings, which are posted in the same manner as regular meetings. However, no action can be taken at a committee meeting. All action and business by the Board of Education is conducted during regular school board meetings.

Board meetings are scheduled on the third Wednesday of each month.

Tim lives in unincorporated Minooka with his wife since 2004 where they built their home (designed and general contracted themselves) on an old farmstead. They raised their two girls there who went through Minooka 201 school district with one finished with Minooka 111 and one more with two more years left at MCHS. One of the reasons they picked the location that they did was due to the site being in the Minooka school district as it had a reputation for a quality education, which has proven to be true.

Tim attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana and graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. Since then, he has become a professional engineer working as civil engineering consultant for over 25 years, designing and constructing multi-million dollar water and wastewater projects for clients.

Tim is active at the Village Christian Church on Bell Road in Minooka, since attending in October of 2004 when the church first started and was meeting at MJHS. Tim led the building team to construct the Minooka Campus that opened in 2016 and helped with the construction and permitting needs to open the Coal City Campus in 2022. He is currently the maintenance manager of the Minooka Campus, and regularly plays guitar and sings for the praise team on Sundays.

Since joining the School Board in 2023, Tim is eager to apply his professional experience and help strategize needed improvements to both Central and South Campuses. He is also committed to maintaining current tax rates and not increasing the tax burden on the district’s families.
