It's looking like the Lockport Freshmen who have been out of the LTHS Central campus since last week after a ceiling collapse in a classroom and an inspection that has revealed several structural issues and forced the closing of the building immediately will be moving over to the abandoned Lincoln-Way North campus in Frankfort to take up residence and one source in LTHS District 205 has stared they could be there for an extended period of time.
The students will be moving in next Wednesday the 15th and will continue online learning in the interim.
I'm not from the Lockport area but I know many who grew up there and have their own children who have gone through there but I've been here in Will County long enough to know that there should've been a second campus built in that District somewhere but the issue is always where?
Everyone knows who the major players who are in that whole scenario being Lockport, Homer Glen, Crest Hill, and Fairmont in unincorporated Will County
and it has always turned into battle amongst the residents when voting in referendums...No No No No No....
Now what?
That old Centeal canpus building even with what was supposed to be planned renovations and retrofitting is not going to last long term. I think it's more serious than we might think.I would hope the residents of district 205 understand this.
In the meantime at least the students have a place to go and kudos to Lincoln-Way District 210 for stepping up and opening the doors to the former North campus.
I think this is going to be more of a complicated situation than we might think....
