District 53 was awarded federal funding through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to support the academic and developmental needs of students with disabilities. In alignment with this funding's intent and priorities, we purchased new student furniture for the Cove located at Brook Forest. This fully grant funded investment supports our ongoing efforts to create inclusive, supportive, and effective learning environments for all students. Comfortable and flexible lounge furniture in the Cove can significantly enhance reading and learning by promoting focus, collaboration, and a sense of well-being. Make sure to check it out!
