CHSD 155 board renews district e-learning plan through 2028–29

The Community High School District 155 board held a public hearing and approved renewal of its e-learning plan, extending the plan in effect through the 2028–29 school year and reaffirming operational details staff said are critical to its use during weather or emergency closures.

The assistant superintendent of educational services described the routine the district follows on e-learning days: "Teachers have their assignments and activities available on Canvas, our learning management system, no later than 9AM on any day that we do call an e elearning day." Students are expected to engage in asynchronous or synchronous activities, and staff will monitor email throughout the day to answer questions. Work assigned on e-learning days is not due that same day; students have up to two days after returning to in-person instruction to turn in assignments.

The assistant superintendent also said the district’s 1-to-1 Chromebook program, Canvas, and Google tools enable e-learning days. Notice of the hearing had been published in the Northwest Herald and Lake County Journal and emailed to families and staff. With no public comments presented, the board returned to regular session and approved the resolution to renew the e-learning plan by roll call.
