Community Curriculum Advisory Council meets Oct. 5

District 15's new Community Curriculum Advisory Council will hold its first meeting on Wednesday, October 5, at 7 p.m. at Winston Campus, 900 E. Palatine Road, Palatine. The meeting is open to the public, and the entire District 15 community is invited to attend.

The Council 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 Council 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.

The 2011-12 meeting schedule is:

October 5, 2011—7 p.m., Winston Campus cafeteria

November 2, 2011—7 p.m., Winston Campus cafeteria

January 4, 2012—7 p.m., Winston Campus cafeteria

February 22, 2012—7 p.m., location TBD

April 4, 2012—7 p.m., Winston Campus cafeteria
