Heyworth Schools Extend Remote Learning Plan

A rural McLean County school district was one of the first schools in the State of Illinois to pilot remote learning before it became a necessity during COVID.

 

Heyworth Schools piloted a remote learning plan and Superintendent Dr. Lisa Taylor indicates they are extending that pilot program for five years. She indicates it has been a popular program among families, students and staff.

 

 

One of the benefits they have encountered of remote learning is when a student is out sick, they can access homework while they are home sick and do not have to wait a day or two to get the assignments they have missed.

 

 

Dr. Taylor says an adjacent benefit to the technology upgrades they had to make during COVID was more parental involvement with IEP meetings or parent-teacher conferences if the option to participate virtually is available.
