District Driver's Ed Program Update

District 155 recently applied for a waiver for 27-24.3 of the Illinois School Code to give us flexibility as we studied how best to provide driver's education classes to our students. As with past decisions concerning driver's education and other school matters, safety is the district's number one priority and a guiding factor in the district's planning and execution. By default the Illinois Legislature allowed these waivers to be granted. Prior to that decision, District 155 had already implemented a plan to follow the new Illinois School Code, including hiring more teachers and eliminating the simulator rooms, and procuring more training cars. Therefore, driver's ed students at each of the District 155 schools will experience six hours of in-car driving practice with an instructor and be fully compliant with the new code. District 155 will serve the same number of drivers per semester as in the past, and has added a second session of summer school driver's education classes to accommodate more students.
