Lockport board approves calendars for next two school years; district updates on legislation and testing
Summary
At its Feb. 24 meeting the Lockport Township High School District 205 Board of Education approved the calendars for the next two school years after student feedback, and the board heard updates on six pending state bills about student cell-phone use and a change in ACT preparation approach.
The Lockport Township High School District 205 Board of Education approved the academic calendars for the next two school years during its Feb. 24 meeting, according to a meeting recap by student board member Avery Colella.
Colella said "a couple of students" presented feedback on the proposed calendars, and she reported the board approved the calendars that evening; the transcript does not record a mover, seconder or vote tally for that approval. "If 1 of these passes, there may had a couple of students present their feedback regarding the next 2 school calendar years, which the board approved that evening," Colella said in the recap.
In a legislative update relayed by Colella, the district has been monitoring six bills in committee that would affect the use of cell phones in schools. Colella said the district was watching potential state-level changes but did not provide detail about any specific bill text or anticipated timetable for action.
Colella also summarized a superintendent's note on ACT preparation. The recap indicates the district is changing its ACT practice approach to emphasize in-class preparation and the April administration; precise operational details about practice tests or scheduling were not specified in the transcript.
The recap included community and foundation items: a reminder that scholarship applications are open via the LTHS Foundation website and notice that the foundation will host a theater camp culminating in a production of Disney's The Lion King July 31–Aug. 2, plus planned movie nights at Porter Stadium in June.
