Emergency School Board Meeting Planned To Discuss Use Of L-W North

FRANKFORT, IL — The Lincoln-Way Community High School Board of Education will hold an emergency board meeting on Thursday, to discuss the use of Lincoln-Way North High School.

The District told Patch there has been discussion between District 210 and Lockport Township High School District 205 about the use of the school as a campus for their freshmen.

The LW210 Board of Education will meet at 6 p.m. on Thursday at Lincoln-Way Central.

The only agenda item in open session for the meeting is an action item on the use of Lincoln-Way North High School.

Lincoln-Way North High School is off of Harlem Avenue in Frankfort, and was closed in 2016. Lockport Township High School District 205's Board of Education has already approved a resolution to resume in-person learning for its freshmen at Lincoln-Way North.

The relocation to Lincoln-Way North comes after a classroom ceiling collapsed at LTHS Central campus last week. District 205 has said that students will not return to Central Campus until it is safe to do so.

It is not yet known how long Lockport students would attend the Lincoln-Way North campus; but several parts of Lockport Central have been assessed as a "high risk" for ceiling construction.
