D19 Board of Education Meeting
February is CTE Month and we would like to highlight some of our students in Career Technical Education!
"I choose to take Emergency Medical Sevices at LCTC because I want to further my career in being a firefighter/paramedic. This class allows for more hands-on learning and being put in realistic situations you may see once you go out into the field. I really do love the environment, and meeting new people with the same goals. You work very closely with your peers to overall prepare you for the real world if you decide to go down this career path." ---Emergency Medical Sevices student, Sandra Valdez
District 19 Community,
Late Friday night, the CDC changed its order, and the CDC will no longer require face masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems. Effective Monday, February 28, face masks will be optional on all D19 school buses. The masking change aligns with the updated guidance released Friday afternoon that no longer recommends universal indoor masking in K-12 schools in areas with a low or medium COVID-19 community level. McHenry County currently falls in the low community level range, which does not contain a recommendation on masking.
Additionally, late Friday afternoon, the Illinois Supreme Court declined to rule on the merits of the appeal (i.e., whether the Governor had the authority to issue the Executive Orders). However, the Supreme Court did exercise its authority to vacate the temporary restraining order (TRO). A vacated order undoes or makes the previous ruling/judgment legally void. Shortly after the Supreme Court’s order, the Governor announced that in light of the revised CDC guidelines, the Illinois school mask mandate will be lifted effective Monday, February 28, 2022.
Thank you for your support and understanding during all of these COVID 19 mitigation changes.

District 19 Superintendent

"I am taking Construction Skills & Management at LCTC and it has taught me so much. I’ve learned how to construct and destruct a house and learned the names of each piece that goes into this process. This class teaches you how to properly use many construction tools including circular saws, chalk lines, and so much more. I’m glad that I decided to take this class as I have learned many valuable skills and opportunities for my future." ---Construction Skills & Management student, Jake Nielsen

"I chose welding because I enjoy welding and would like to make a future out of Welding. I'm glad I chose to take it because I have learned a lot and it is very enjoyable. At tech you get to meet a lot of new people with the same interests as you. If you like being hands on and are a better learner when you get to actually do it---Welding would be a good class for you to take at Lake County Tech Campus." ---Welding Student, Jesse Armburst

"I like attending Lake County Tech Campus because it gives you the experience to be in a different environment. I also get to do hands-on activities that I’ve always wanted to do since I was little. Meeting new people and seeing things from other perspectives is another advantage of going to the Tech Campus. I joined the Law Enforcement, CSI, and Criminal Justice programs to change the way society thinks of Police Officers and other first responders." ---Criminal Justice student, AJ Medina
