Traditional snow days could be a thing of the past in Naperville Unit District 203.
Amid the expansion of remote learning capabilities, district officials have developed a plan allowing students and teachers to continue coursework virtually in the event of severe weather or other emergencies that would have canceled school in the past.
The e-learning program would move class curriculum forward without disruption and provide a more predictable last day of school, since emergency days won t be tacked on to the end of the academic calendar, said Jayne Willard, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction.
The plan is expected to be rolled out during the 2021-22 school year, pending approval by the school board and the DuPage County Regional Office of Education. A public hearing is scheduled for Aug. 2.
