Lockport Twp. board approves emergency e-learning plan, routine minutes and HYA agreement
Summary
The Lockport Twp HSD 205 board approved a state‑required emergency e‑learning plan and several routine items, including minutes and a consulting letter of agreement with HYA; one appointment vote drew an abstention.
The Lockport Township High School District 205 Board of Education approved an updated emergency e‑learning plan, cleared routine meeting minutes and expenses and approved a letter of agreement with consulting firm HYA during its July meeting.
Board members opened a public hearing on the emergency e‑learning plan, noting the district approved similar plans in 2020 and 2023 and that state law requires board approval every three years. The plan lets the district count an e‑learning day toward required attendance in the event of an emergency such as a snowstorm or power outage; the board approved it by roll call.
The board also approved minutes from the June 12, 2026 workshop and closed‑session minutes, minutes from the June 15, 2026 board meeting, and board expenses for July 2026 after motions and roll‑call votes. Motions were moved and seconded on the record; votes were recorded by roll call.
The board voted to approve a letter of agreement with HYA after staff reported HYA had responded to initial board questions and revised the contract language. The HYA team was present to answer follow‑ups.
On the consent agenda the board approved items 2 through 11 with item 6 (appointments for 2026–2027 co‑curricular staff, clubs and organizations) pulled for separate consideration. On the separate vote for item 6 the roll call recorded one abstention (Lopez Keneva) and five yes votes.
The hearing record shows no public comments on the e‑learning plan and the president closed the hearing shortly after it opened. The board recessed for a short break before moving into a closed session and additional policy discussion later in the meeting.
