10 Tips for Successfully Planning For And Implementing E-Learning in Your District
In 2015, the state of Illinois began an E-Learning Day Pilot. At that time, the Illinois State Board of Education gave three school districts (Leyden Community High School District 212, Community High School District 94, and Gurnee Elementary School District 56) permission to run up to five school days per year virtually when the districts would have otherwise been closed due to inclement weather or other reasons.
