Student speaker urges District 211 to preserve elective options for four‑year plans
Summary
A District 211 student told the board that proposed schedule changes could prevent students from completing four‑year plans and limit elective opportunities; the board asked administration for information about the proposal and its effect on students.
Lucas Salvaccio, a current District 211 student who said he attends Schaumburg High School, told the board that proposed scheduling changes would remove students’ ability to replace lunch or gym with electives and could prevent some students from completing four‑year academic plans. "It's breaking that 4 year plan," he said, adding he had collected 57 supportive emails from peers.
Lucas urged the board to grandfather students already on four‑year plans or create clearer guidelines that allow students to drop courses without losing opportunities. Board members acknowledged the student’s concerns and asked administration to provide information about the proposed changes and how they would affect students’ academic plans. Dr. Judith Campbell and staff agreed to gather the requested information and share it with the board.
The board did not vote on course policy changes at the meeting; members requested more details so they could evaluate options before any formal policy action.
