Summary
Eleven community members spoke during public comment, urging the board to retain the Accelerated ELA program as a pull‑out inclusive classroom; the board later approved a new grades 6–8 ELA curriculum but made no immediate change to the program model during the meeting.
Eleven community members addressed the Lockport School District 91 Board of Education on May 12, 2026, urging that the district’s Accelerated ELA program remain a pull‑out inclusive classroom rather than be restructured. The public comment period was opened under Policy 2:230; the board recorded 12 accepted speakers in total, including one comment about Illinois House Bill 910.
Speakers at the meeting emphasized continuity for students participating in Accelerated ELA and asked the board to preserve the pull‑out inclusive structure. The transcript records the number of community speakers (11) and the board’s receipt of those comments; there was no formal board vote or immediate policy change tied to the public comments during this meeting. The board later voted to approve a grades 6–8 ELA curriculum resource at the action items portion of the agenda, but the transcript does not state that the curriculum vote altered the structure of the Accelerated ELA pull‑out program.
