On January 5th, at Doherty High School, Michael Gaal, the superintendent for D11 schools, changed his mind on remote learning in place of snow days, and the district is going back to traditional snow days.

Gaal stated, “My number one goal is to get face to face instruction every day that we can get it” and “live tonight, I am canceling remote learning snow days for the rest of the year.”

The reason Gaal has changed his mind was because of the effort and hard work a group of students from Palmer High School had put into an argument, discussing why it was the wrong decision to have online learning snow days. Thanks to these students, the rest of D11 can enjoy normal snow days for the rest of the year.
