Community Unit District 300 has 20,856 students, a population that is up 2 percent in two years and ranks the Carpentersville-based district as the sixth largest in the state. Taking a page from the playbook of local, state and national leaders, Superintendent Michael Bregy gave a joint "state of the district" address this week, updating the community for the first time with such a speech. Bregy presented at the school board meeting with Board President Anne Miller, reviewing topics of student discipline, communications, curriculum, strategic planning, hiring, finances and school safety.
