District news
Board starts talks with Maywood schools about working together
What happened
On June 8, 2026 the Medicine Valley board voted 6-0 to start talking with the Maywood Public Schools board about possible cooperation between the two districts. The board has a reorganization committee, and its report has been on every agenda since. The minutes do not say what kind of cooperation is being considered.
Why it matters to families
Talks between two small districts can lead to shared programs, shared staff or even a merger. Any of these could change where students go to school and how the district is run. Nothing has been decided yet.
