Community Consolidated School District 15's new Community Curriculum Advisory Council (CCAC) introduced the district's instructional program and presented snapshots of a student's day during its first meeting in October.

The CCAC is now set to discuss the state's new “Common Core” standards during its second meeting, which will be held Wednesday, Nov. 2, at Winston Campus, 900 E. Palatine Road, Palatine.

The CCAC includes representation from across the district, and it is charged with providing input in a cooperative spirit about the curriculum improvement process in District 15. The district decided to create the CCAC as a result of its January 18 Navigate15 community engagement session on World-Class Curriculum.

When that topic generated such a tremendous amount of interest among parents and community members, the district saw a great opportunity to continue raising awareness of its instructional program and to continue working with the community to improve its curriculum by developing the council.

CCAC meetings are open to the public, and the entire District 15 community is invited to attend them.
