Principal Selection Update
Dear Lane Tech Students, Staff, Parents and Community,
The Lane Tech Local School Council is in the final stage of selecting a New Contract Principal. Our final two candidates are Mrs. Kathryn Anderson and Mr. Clifford Gabor. During our first regular meeting of the school year (Thursday, September 10, 2015 at 6:00pm), the LSC will go into closed session to give final consideration to the qualifications of these two candidates. Once back in open session, the name of one or both of the candidates will be placed in nomination. In order for the LSC to award a contract, a candidate must receive 7 affirmative votes. If neither Mrs. Anderson nor Mr. Gabor receives 7 votes, then we will discuss, in open session, our options. Those may include forwarding the names of the 2 finalists to the CEO of the Chicago Board of Education for him to select either one of those candidates, or beginning the whole selection process again.
We appreciate your patience as we make the important decision of who will lead Lane Tech College Prep!

Illinois public institutions to offer college credit for AP classes
Check out the following message from the College Board:
"The Advanced Placement Program® is happy to share with you the tremendous news that Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner last week signed into law HB 3428, legislation requiring all Illinois public colleges and universities to award credit to students who submit scores of 3 and higher on AP® Exams. This applies to entering freshmen at Illinois public institutions of higher education beginning in the fall of 2016.
This new policy will ensure that Illinois students receive the college credits they can earn as a result of their hard work in AP. At a time when AP participation and performance has increased significantly in the state, this law provides more students with a greater opportunity to graduate from college on time.
Our community — including educators, students, and families — played a critical role throughout the legislative process. We appreciate those of you who contacted elected officials expressing support for this important initiative. Your voices clearly were heard, as reflected in the overwhelming bipartisan support the bill received.
We are also grateful for the leadership of the bipartisan group of public officials who worked for this result, including Governor Rauner and the bill's authors: Representatives Carol Sente (Vernon Hills) and Mike Fortner (West Chicago) and Senator Pat McGuire (Crest Hill).
Graduates of the class of 2016 who attend Illinois public institutions of higher education will be the first students to benefit from this new law. We appreciate your unique role, as AP educators, in ensuring that students and parents in your community are aware of this exciting news."

Lane Tech Start Time
July 23, 2015
Dear Students, Parents, and Staff:
Chicago Public Schools has made some difficult choices in an attempt to become a more efficient organization. One of those changes is in the student transportation schedule. This change has forced over 80 schools to shift starting times for students. Lane will, as a result of this change, have two starting times for the 2015-16 school year. Most Lane Tech College Prep students will start at 8:05 am and be dismissed at 3:20 pm. LTAC students will begin second period at 9:00 am and be dismissed at 4:15 pm. This schedule was created to make the best of the unfortunate situation that currently exists at CPS. I have contacted student transportation and made multiple requests that start time be changed from 9:00am to 8:00 am. I have been told that a change to the bus schedule is not possible.
I have heard from many of you about the proposed change of start time for LTAC. Lane Tech College Prep staff is committed to continue providing extracurricular activities for all Lane students. The staff is busy revising schedules to ensure LTAC students have opportunities to continue to take high school classes.
Sincerely,
David Gilligan

Principal Selection
Dear Lane Students, Staff, Parents and Community,
The Lane Tech Local School Council held an Emergency Meeting last night to discuss Principal Selection. After almost 2 hours of deliberation (on top of the 3 hours last Thursday night), neither of the remaining 2 candidates had sufficient support to be awarded a contract. In order for the LSC to award a contract, one candidate must have the support of at least 7 members. The next LSC Meeting (the Organizational Meeting), will take place on Thursday, July 9th at 9:00am at DeVry University. At that meeting, Principal Selection will be on the agenda. Due to the necessity for a Leader/Principal, the Network Chief will be appointing an "Administrator in Charge."
The LSC is fully aware of the everyone's concerns. We have made great progress up to this point, and are hopeful the we will be able to make a final decision soon. The District, and the Network Chief are deeply involved and committed to helping Lane move forward.
