A move in Springfield to add more classroom time to address learning loss from the COVID-19 pandemic advanced out of committee.
A Senate education committee has passed a resolution that urges districts to add time to the school day or days to the school calendar.
The legislation was introduced by state Sen. Kimberly Lightford, D-Maywood, who said it is designed to address the challenges that COVID-19 has created with a lot of learning disruptions.
