Ryan Companies present...

Summer is always an interesting time for newspapers. Government bodies — like village and school boards — typically shorten their agendas and might skip a meeting or two. Kids aren’t going to school and athletes aren’t playing high school sports. Typically, there just isn’t a lot of big news. Last summer was quite unusual, as Hinsdale and communities around the country dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic and the social unrest following the murder of George Floyd. Here’s a sampling of headlines from stories we ran last summer...
If summer is a time for leisure and soaking in the sun, no one told the folks working on the renovations at Hinsdale Central High School. The improvements now underway are part of a $140 million facilities improvement project approved by voters in April 2019. The plan includes projects at Hinsdale Central High School, Hinsdale South High School, and the district's new Transition Center in Burr Ridge. The leased building will provide an area where young adults with special...
The existing Hinsdale Central pool will be filled in and the space converted for uses such as gymnastics and wrestling, potentially, as swim activities relocate to the new natatorium. At their June 23 meeting, Hinsdale High School District 86 Board members voted unanimously to award bid packages to repurpose the pool area at a total cost of just more than $1.4 million, a considerable departure from the $870,000 originally estimated for the project. Nick Graal of the district’s architectural firm Arcon told board members t...

Students in Hinsdale High School District 86 will continue to learn math in a traditional course sequence. In a split 4-3 vote June 9, the District 86 Board directed instructors to abandon the plan approved by the board last October to create an integrated math curriculum. Board member Debbie Levinthal said she remained uncertain about integrated math’s ability to meet the range of students’ needs when they enter the district as freshman. “I’m not convinced yet this is the approach that is going to accomplish (better student...

The four newly elected Hinsdale High School District 86 Board members still are uncertain as to whether they will support a move to teach integrated math in the district. The board spent more than two hours at their May 26 meeting listening to a presentation from the math team and discussing the curriculum change, which was approved by the previous board in October. The integrated curriculum would weave algebra 1, geometry and algebra 2 into three courses titled Math 1, 2 and 3. Team members said the change allows students...

The Hinsdale High School District 86 Board seems willing to spend $870,000 to fill in the old pool at Hinsdale Central to create a flexible space, if the project can be paid for out of surplus operating funds. At a finance committee meeting in April, Josh Stephenson, chief financial officer, suggested using Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds for the project. That idea met with some resistance when the full board met April 22. Another look at the budget, however, indicates those funds will not be needed,...
