Great work is underway to provide rigor, challenges and high expectations for all District 742 students. The District 742 Linkage Committee is gathering input from various groups of parents and stakeholders. The committee seeks ideas about grade level configurations for Oak Hill 6th graders in 2010-11. The public is invited to a meeting on Tuesday, April 21st for that purpose.
Program opportunities that provide academic rigor for adolescents, along with the realities of building capacities, enrollment projections, demographic realities and operational realities, are driving the need to explore and implement grade configuration changes in the 2010-11 school year. Grade level configurations may look different throughout the district because of differences in the needs mentioned above. Configurations may include PK-5, PK-6, PK-8 and 6-8. Our discussion on April 21st will begin with Oak Hill and the options available to their 2010-11 6th graders.
The meeting will be held in the Oak Hill Cafeteria on Tuesday, April 21st from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. The Board of Education Linkage Committee is promoting this meeting as part of its efforts to improve communication through face-to-face dialogue with district constituents. The public is invited
