LTHS outlines East Campus upgrades, prepares for 8‑period day
Summary
Lockport Township High School leaders are planning facility upgrades at East Campus — including new bleachers and restrooms at Porter Stadium and a redesigned lunchroom — and are developing an implementation plan for an 8‑period day targeted for the 2026–27 school year.
Ryan, a recap presenter for the Nov. 17 meeting, said Lockport Township High School is planning updates to parts of East Campus, including Porter Stadium, the lunchroom and the bathrooms. "LTHS is looking at updating some parts of East Campus including the Porter Stadium, the lunchroom, and the bathrooms," he said.
The district is weighing specific needs at Porter Stadium, where Ryan said new bleachers and upgraded restrooms are required. "The Porter Stadium needs new bleachers, and an updated bathroom. It's currently football game bathrooms are just porta potties," he said. School leaders described the stadium work as a priority to modernize game-day facilities.
Plans for the lunchroom include adding a "Student Street," an open-concept area intended to integrate student services and guidance resources into the dining space to improve access and use of the space. Ryan said the Student Street would allow "easier access to guidance resources and a better use of the space."
Separately, the district is developing an operational plan to move to an 8‑period day at East Campus. Ryan said the change is being planned for the 2026–27 school year and that staff are "figuring out what is needed" to implement the schedule change, including how classes and passing periods would be organized.
No formal motion, vote, funding amount or construction timeline was announced in the recap. Ryan described these items as topics presented from the superintendent's advisory council and under review by district staff and principals. The district did not provide detailed cost estimates or a contractor schedule in the remarks recorded in the transcript; those details were not specified.
Next steps indicated in the recap include continued planning and staff-level work; the transcript did not record a specific public hearing date or a board vote on funding for the projects.
