Lockport SD 91 board approves new grades 6–8 ELA curriculum
Summary
The board unanimously approved the grades 6–8 ELA curriculum resource on May 12, 2026; the vote followed public comment about the Accelerated ELA program but the transcript does not tie the approval to a change in the Accelerated ELA pull‑out model.
The Lockport School District 91 Board of Education voted unanimously on May 12, 2026, to approve a new grades 6–8 ELA curriculum resource. Board member Pinn moved to approve the curriculum; Arvidson seconded and the roll call vote recorded Ayes: Rodriguez, Arvidson, Pinn, Garrett, Cutforth, Oxley‑Turner.
The approval occurred after a public comment period in which 11 community members urged that the Accelerated ELA program remain a pull‑out inclusive classroom. The transcript does not record the board specifying that the curriculum vote would immediately alter the existing Accelerated ELA classroom model. The district’s superintendent discussed budget and capital projects earlier in the meeting, but no dollar figures for the curriculum purchase were included in the recorded discussion.
