Welcome to Board Notes—your go-to source for the latest updates from our school board meetings, held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Here are highlights from the meeting on September 9, 2024.
|
Two board policies were reviewed and will be brought back to the board for approval on September 23, 2024.
|
- Policy 6:135 - Accelerated Placement Act
- This policy has been updated based on the State of Illinois law (105 ILCS 14A-32) and will go into effect in District 225 during the 2027-28 school year. Schools will be required to automatically accelerate students to the next highest level in an academic subject, based on their performance on state assessments.
- Policy 6:281 - Grade Point Average
- The policy is tied to the Accelerated Placement Act and is also the result of updated State of Illinois law. District 225 is working on a standard curriculum guide that will address inconsistencies in weighted grades.

Haidt talks about smartphones, social media and over-parenting, and he outlines very reasonable steps that we can take to create real change for our kids.
