Intergovernmental agreement adopts efficiency, effectiveness reforms
SKOKIE – Lt. Governor Sheila Simon will celebrate an education reform milestone on Wednesday at Niles West High School. School officials will sign a "Classrooms First" agreement, a step toward educational efficiency and effectiveness at Niles Township High School District 219 and Skokie/Morton Grove School District 69.
Beginning this fall, Niles West High School and its largest feeder district will share faculty and instructional tools in order to maximize resources and reduce remediation. The reforms are largely based on the findings of the Classrooms First Commission, which Simon chaired and which issued a report detailing its recommendations in 2012.
Simon will join District 219 and District 69 officials at the signing ceremony, which will feature a series of talks by district instructors and a tour of the high school following the presentation and signing.
TIME: 9:30 a.m.
DATE: Wednesday, Aug. 20
LOCATION: Black Box Theater, Niles West High School, 5701 Oakton St., Skokie
