Student board member Ryan Gleason said at a Sept. 15 Lockport Twp HSD 205 Board of Education meeting briefing that the board recognized 431 students who earned AP Scholar honors and that the superintendent's advisory council set four topics for the year, including consideration of an 8‑period day.

The recognition of 431 AP Scholars comes from College Board reporting, which Gleason called “an amazing achievement and shows the dedication of my fellow students.” He summarized the advisory council's four topics as: the possibility of switching to an 8‑period day (including options such as opening a free period for seniors for a late start or early dismissal), potential new classes and increased nonfiction in the curriculum, review of the student services department, and facilities planning for East and Central campuses.

Gleason said the district received two grants related to social and emotional learning and that students on the advisory council “are gonna be part of implementing those grants.” He also reported the district is continuing to study a phone policy to learn what culture it creates and will keep the policy under discussion.

On facilities, Gleason said the advisory council will look into future plans for both the East and Central campuses and noted that classrooms 314 and 316 at Central are soon to be opened. He also said “Miss Croix gave a presentation about financial budget and the Treasury Report.”

Gleason announced the homecoming theme as “Let's Glow Crazy” and closed the brief by saying the next monthly update will appear in October. The remarks in the brief were summary announcements and planning items; Gleason did not report any formal board votes or adopted policy during his summary.

Details reported in the brief were presented as updates and topics for further discussion by the superintendent's advisory council or district staff; no formal actions or ordinance numbers were provided in the summary.
