Summary
On second reading the Lyons Twp HSD 204 Board approved a package of PRESS 120 policy updates, including affirmative answers to required questions in policies 660 and 6210 that reflect current instructional practice.
The Lyons Township High School District 204 Board unanimously adopted on second reading the PRESS 120 policy update package the board reviewed at its December 1 Committee of the Whole meeting.
Superintendent Dr. Waterman said the packet reflects recommended updates from PRESS, legal counsel and administrative review, and specifically called out two required policy‑question answers: the board will answer "yes" in policy 660 to include the teaching of the Irish famine because it reflects current practice, and will answer "yes" in policy 6210 to add the term "primary" to instructional materials language. With no further questions from the board, a member moved and the board adopted the policy updates by roll call vote.
The administration said updated policy language will take effect following adoption and be reflected in district policy manuals.
