Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103; Dec. 3, 2020
School Board Highlights - December 1, 2020
D103 Learning Update:
January Learning Models: The District surveyed D103 families regarding their preference for in-person or remote learning. The results showed that the district can continue five full days per week of synchronous remote and in-person learning for all students in grades 1-8. The district was able to accommodate all students in their preferred learning model. Principals are reaching out to families to confirm their student’s learning model. Changes will occur Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021.
Staffing Schedule: The district is reviewing staffing positions and will make adjustments where needed.
COVID-19 Metrics: Current metrics are high in the Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 communities. Metrics are ten times higher than an acceptable range. It is highly unlikely that in-person learning will resume before winter break.
Planning for January 2021: The district is finalizing class schedules and transportation routes for students.
BinexNow Covid-19 Antigen Testing Update: D103 has been approved to test staff and students who show COVID-19 symptoms during in-person learning. BinexNow, a rapid 15-minute test, will be utilized once we resume in-person instruction. Symptomatic individuals, whether the test result is positive or negative, will need to leave school and follow up with their personal physician. A permission form will be required for the district to be able to test students.
School Fees:
School Fees proposed for the 2021-2022 school year were shared with the Board. Fees are proposed to increase about 2 percent more than what families paid this year. The Board asked the administration to review the full day kindergarten fee in relation to other local district programs and provide information to allow them to ascertain the adequate tuition fee. The Board will revisit school fees at a future meeting.
