Lockport Twp HSD 205 board approves eight-period day for East Campus
Summary
The Lockport Township High School District 205 board voted Oct. 20, 2025, to approve an eight-period day at East Campus so sophomores through seniors will take one additional class each year; implementation details and new course approvals will be reviewed by the curriculum committee Oct. 27.
The Lockport Township High School District 205 board voted Oct. 20, 2025, to approve a new eight-period school day at East Campus that will require sophomores through seniors to take one additional class each year.
The change was introduced during student reports when Ryan told the board “students are in favor of an 8 period day next year.” Superintendent Dr. McBride later provided context in his report and gave the board a copy of the annual student academic report for further review. The board voted to adopt the eight-period schedule during the meeting; the transcript does not include a mover, a second or the vote tally.
District officials said the board will not approve new classes tied to the schedule change at this meeting. Instead, the board will send course approvals to the curriculum committee of the whole, which is scheduled to meet on Monday, Oct. 27, 2025. Dr. McBride outlined several elements the board should consider before implementing the schedule change and provided the academic report to inform that review.
Supporters framed the change as responding to student preferences and opportunities to broaden course options; opponents or dissenting viewpoints were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
Next steps: the curriculum committee will review proposed class offerings and implementation details on Oct. 27; the school will then follow the district’s usual approval and scheduling processes before the change takes effect.
