Recently, Harvard Community Unit School District 50 partnered with ChanceLight Education to provide specialized educational programming. ChanceLight Education specifically partners with school districts and families as part of a continuum of services to intervene academically, behaviorally, and socially to support students that need a smaller, more intensive learning environment. This past Tuesday, the City of Harvard Zoning Committee unanimously approved the zoning for ChanceLight to use Trinity Lutheran Churches’ classrooms to house these students from our district right here in Harvard, along with the Community and Economic Development Committee that approved the recommendation from the Zoning Committee for these uses. The last stage of approval in this process will be during the next Harvard City Council meeting. We as a district are thankful for the City of Harvard and both the Zoning Committee and Economic Development Committee's support in making sure that there is a unique space for our students to continue to learn within our district and receive the very best support for their academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs. #HarvardRising
