A K-12 unit district serving the City of Bloomington since 1857. 10 schools, ~4,700–5,600 students, 703 staff. District website blocked by Finalsite bot-protection — itself a transparency and accessibility concern. Six of seven board member names confirmed via IASB directory. Board reorganization discrepancy between May 4 and May 18 scrapes flagged.
The district website masthead (scraped May 18, 2026) names Mark Wiley as Board President. The IASB member directory (scraped May 4, 2026) lists Charles Irwin as President and Mark Wylie as a Member. The 14-day gap and near-identical spelling (Wiley/Wylie) strongly suggest the board reorganized its officers at the annual April/May reorganization meeting after the April 2025 consolidated election — consistent with 105 ILCS 5/10-16. Confirm current officer slate via BoardDocs or direct FOIA.
