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. Prior to the Illinois Legislature's decision, District 155 implemented a plan to follow the new Illinois School Code, including hiring more teachers and eliminating the simulator rooms, and procuring more training cars.
