Mahomet-Seymour schools recently revealed their acceleration plan to parents.

Dr. Lindsey Hall, Mahomet-Seymour Superintendent, indicates as a result of legislation made effective in the summer of 2018, school districts in Illinois were required to have programs set in place for acceleration. Dr. Hall says they introduced the acceleration plan to interested parents at a recent meeting.

Dr. Hall notes acceleration is handled on a case by case basis as each student has different needs. There are many things to take into consideration when determining if acceleration is right for the student.

According to Dr. Hall, meeting students where they are at is not just an academic effort. She says schools are now asked to intervene with students in matters of social, emotional and mental wellness and those efforts also take differ on a case-by-case basis.
