D51 plan to trim adaptive PE draws sharp criticism from parents

Proposed changes to physical education programs for students with special needs in District 51 are still drawing concern.
Last week, School District 51 sent a memo to parents and staff that its adaptive PE program would see changes at the end of the 2021-2022 school year, including staffing cuts.
In a follow-up on the issue included in Superintendent Diana Sirko’s weekly report, Sirko explained the in-person adaptive PE program would transition to one “focused on integrating children into physical education classes with their peers as much as possible.”
The move will trim the adaptive PE teaching staff from four specialists to two during a transition period. Eventually, there would be one specialist tasked with training other teachers in the district to handle adaptive PE and other special education-based duties.
