Illinois law (Lawn Care Products Application and Notification Act) requires all school districts to notify students and staff when lawn care chemicals are being used in or around school facilities.
Please be aware that weather permitting, weed control and fertilization of the grounds including athletic fields is scheduled:
May 2-4
- Brooks Elementary
- Cortland Elementary
- Founders Elementary
- Jefferson Elementary
- Lincoln Elementary
- Littlejohn Elementary
- Malta Elementary
- Mitchell Elementary
- Tyler Elementary
- Clinton Rosette Middle
- Huntley Middle School

This will not affect any games/activities that are taking place on the athletic fields.
We are committed to minimizing the use of chemicals for weed control and lawn care, but at times, it is necessary for the proper maintenance of the facility. If you have any questions about the application of the lawn fertilizer, please contact the Director of Facility & Safety Operations at (815) 754-2350.
