Credit Michele Steinbacher / WGLT Bloomington District 87 will direct some of its upcoming federal COVID relief funding to launch a new program melding summer school and summer camp models. The all-day, three-week program really expands the concept of summer school, and opens it up to any District 87 student, Assistant Superintendent Diane Wolf said during Wednesday’s school board meeting. “This is a very unique way of looking at a summer enrichment program,” she said, that goes way beyond the previous concept. Superintendent Barry Reilly called it the most comprehensive summer program ever for the district. Also at the meeting, held in the district’s downtown administration building, the school board learned Bloomington High School plans an outdoor May graduation ceremony; heard about curriculum changes planned for the 2021-2022 school year; and OK’d a base pay of $17,500 to Ray and Associates search firm as it find's a replacement for Reilly, who retires June 30, 2022.
