Board approves District 34E e‑learning plan update, keeps it for emergency use only

Dr. Della opened the public hearing overview and described the e‑learning plan’s origin and intended scope: it was created in 2020 amid pandemic conditions and has been extended by ISBE and North Cook. She told the board the plan is retained as an option but "we'd really only use in extreme situations with multiple days or some big disaster. That's that's kind of the the whole crux of the plan." The plan also preserves five emergency days in the regular calendar and requires board, regional (North Cook) and ISBE approvals to be available as a response tool.
