Placement will be determined by the student’s individualized education program (IEP) team.

Board member Mister Coffey moved the motion, reciting the hearing-officer standard that the board consider whether removal was in the best interest of the school and whether all appropriate interventions had been exhausted. A second was called and a roll-call vote followed; the board voted to expel the student with the duration and IEP-team placement stated in the motion.

The hearing-officer standard the board cited requires the board to consider (1) whether continued presence in school threatens safety or (2) whether the student’s presence substantially disrupts school operations; the board then must determine the duration and placement. The board’s motion set the expulsion end date in June 2026 and left placement decisions to the IEP team.

During the action-item sequence, the board approved an item described in the meeting as a “grama with Joliet Township High School and Relay Hub LLC.” A board member asked, “This is Medicaid biller, right?” and the item proceeded to a roll-call vote and passed. The transcript identifies Relay Hub LLC in connection with the district but does not provide contract dollar amounts or the full contract text in the meeting discussion.

Earlier on the consent agenda, the board amended the check register by removing the Hopewell bills and then approved the remainder of the consent agenda. The board also approved personnel items numbered 1 through 15 and introduced newly hired staff to the public (including incoming teachers assigned to Joliet West). All personnel items and the Relay Hub agreement passed by roll-call vote.

Board members did not debate the personnel approvals in detail during the meeting; staff indicated that newly approved hires would be welcomed in coming weeks.","The board approved an agreement described during the meeting as a Medicaid billing arrangement with Relay Hub LLC and approved personnel reports and other consent items, including the removal of certain bills from the check register.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6227924,"Joliet Township HSD 204 opens hearing on e-learning days, later approves e-learning plan for 2026–2028",77,5102000,5179000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3478500-3b60560607e38f45fd2b9d0d8a2f0ed1&start=5102&end=5179","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3478500-3b60560607e38f45fd2b9d0d8a2f0ed1/thumbnail_5102000.jpg","/articles/6227924/Illinois/Joliet-Township-HSD-204-opens-hearing-on-e-learning-days-later-approves-e-learning-plan-for-20262028","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6227924-f68f43e5626430232fa323f5d218cbae/orig.mp4?Expires=1770926871&Signature=XzUq-u9cMmeuVsB4SheNsYCNs7zz5fz13oBN0eICZ6BlF7CfmKb6BXzZscOwFXoaO8W23N2M~AlXOWB~q8JqxbcpR08ed4VM4IOjeIFGhlq3FgYf2k2w2DIMLJZLFH-KgXerQjyoU3jVr63GGkZZmYq3bcySH4yfFfXYeYnSevRB5mVMXDA6Af0e6DirUkdgrSzF6brdg-YcH8NG7rm2bTM2AkOUJZ35zi3xnJDg1gQaxOn1cHQP3ynVC2z1gHXtpMGUH2pvWPwQnwAvqURjp2ZLllerdtQMXkftSLj52Gf7Wvml6ymug56AyvdWKRpPsC98LTUnAelSYtMAA1LSjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Joliet Township High School District 204 Board of Education opened and closed a public hearing on adopting e-learning days in lieu of emergency days and later voted to approve the district’s e-learning plan for school years 2026–2028.

District staff explained that school districts may adopt a resolution allowing e-learning days to replace emergency days and that, after board adoption, the district’s e-learning program must be verified by the Will County Regional Office of Education before it can be implemented.

During the hearing no members of the public spoke. The board formally closed the hearing and, during the action portion of the meeting, approved the e-learning plan for 2026–2028 by roll-call vote.

A board member asked for clarity prior to the vote about whether the related contract under a subsequent action item was a Medicaid billing agreement; that item was discussed separately and approved.

District Superintendent Dr. Guzman told the board the district has “a lot to celebrate while we still have a lot of work to do,” summarizing two years of work since the plan’s adoption and highlighting community engagement, student advisory work and growing career and technical education offerings.

The board approved the progress update and adopted action plans 1.2, 2.4, 3.4 and 4.1 (as laid out in the district packet). Board members discussed multiple action-plan topic areas during the presentation, including: expanded community engagement and a new student advisory committee; curricular and dual-credit expansions tied to career and technical education; restorative practices and microaggression reporting; special education and multilingual services enhancements; postsecondary planning and rollout of SchoolLinks; attendance monitoring and chronic-absence interventions; safety upgrades including access-control and a hall-pass system; and study of a revised school-day schedule with a daily flex-time period.

District staff and plan leads said some individual action plans will be moved to “operationalized” status (indicating substantial implementation), others will remain “in progress,” and several new action plans are being recommended for adoption next year. Chris McGuffey, who led parts of the instructional update, said “expansion is in the works” for additional courses, internships and a curricular audit tool slated for summer work.

The presentation drew brief public comment earlier in the meeting when Brian Gortner, director of the 3 Rivers Education for Employment System, thanked the district for its career and technical education programs and singled out district staff for support. “You have programs to be proud of,” Gortner told the board.

Board members asked for continuing progress reports and said several items — notably the proposed school-day changes and some attendance interventions — will require further stakeholder work and bargaining-unit discussions before implementation. The board unanimously approved the strategic-plan progress report and the four recommended adoptions.","The Joliet Township High School District 204 Board of Education voted to accept a progress report on its multi-year strategic plan and to adopt four action plans recommended for the 2025–26 school year, while keeping several other plans in progress for further work.","actionData","errors"]
