As students in central Illinois get back to the swing of the school day routine, a McLean County district is offering their students and parents a chance to look at course offerings for next semester.

It's not uncommon for this time of the year to be dedicated to students looking at their next year of courses and Lisa Taylor, Superintendent of Heyworth Schools indicates Wednesday night they'll offer their high school students a glimpse at what is available to them.

The gathering of students will highlight the expanded offering for dual-credit courses through Heartland Community College. Taylor says the Board of Education has worked hard to make sure their students have as many of those opportunities as possible and they've come a long way in recent years.

Heyworth surveys their students for a time they call their "flex period" and she indicates they are exploring new opportunities for them during that time but is not sure if they will be able to have anything soon enough for next year.
