Board approves literacy collaboration with Niles Township High School District 219
Summary
The board approved an intergovernmental agreement to join District 219's collaborative for a K–8 literacy review, with expected supports including PD and possible curriculum purchases and board participation in steering committees.
The board approved an intergovernmental agreement to collaborate with Niles Township High School District 219 and its Collaborative for Curriculum (CFC) on a K–8 literacy review. Administration said the collaborative will provide professional development, curriculum planning support and potential cost-saving purchases because the districts use similar curricular materials.
Christie, participating in the discussion, said a literacy leadership team has already attended a workshop. "We are...moving forward with the literacy review," she said, and administration noted some immediate savings opportunities through shared materials. The superintendent said board members are asked to attend steering-committee meetings three times a year and that administration will update the board as details are finalized.
The board approved the agreement on voice/roll call.
