In response to our FOIA requests the state provided us with “employee” as the position for all these employees, with the exception of two. If the state provided us with more information on these employees, and their responsibilities, taxpayers would be better able to determine if this is a good use of their money.

You can find this information by going to IllinoisOpenGov.org, clicking on “Payroll” and searching for “Community College Board” under the “Agency” heading.
