Superintendent confirms District 203’s Innovative School Experience proposal not moving forward
Talks of implementing the Innovative School Experience proposal with Naperville School District 203 are off the table, Superintendent Dan Bridges confirmed at a board of education meeting Monday.
Bridges made the official announcement that the proposal is “not moving forward” during his superintendent’s report in a follow-up to last week’s ratification of a new teacher contract between the Naperville 203 Board of Education and the Naperville Unit Education Association. Bridges said the status of the Innovative School Experience remained a lingering question within the community after the contract agreement was reached.
The new contract does not have language about the Innovative School Experience, Bridges said, and NUEA members will not be required to carry out any of its provisions. The proposal drew widespread scrutiny and concern among parents and teachers early this year, particularly in terms of its scheduling impact.
