Glenbrook Evening High School

The Glenbrook Evening High School website URL provided (gbhsweb.glenbrook225.org) was not reachable during this lookup, but District 225 materials indicate Glenbrook Evening School/High School was “put on hold” and not accepting students as of October 4, 2019 due to low enrollment. (theoracle.glenbrook225.org) In January 2020, District 225 recommended eliminating Board Policy 7040 (Evening High School), with the item slated for the January 27, 2020 board meeting, and described a replacement “alternative learning program” model (i.e., the evening high school model may no longer be active as originally structured). (boardmeetings.glenbrook225.org) Under the (former) Board Policy 7040 framework, enrollment was not described as a standard open-application process; it required District 225 residency, age 16+, and principal recommendation/approval, with defined categories including (1) current Glenbrook day-school students recommended by both the day and evening principals, (2) residents previously enrolled in high school but not currently enrolled (recommended by the evening principal, and former Glenbrook students also needing day-school principal approval), and (3) residents who have never enrolled in high school (principal must deem the program appropriate and the applicant must complete a competency exam, with a possible age waiver under extraordinary circumstances). (boardmeetings.glenbrook225.org) Additional requirements noted include that residents age 18+ who are not enrolling from the day school must submit a criminal background check, and felony convictions leave final admission to school/district administrative discretion. (boardmeetings.glenbrook225.org) No waitlist process, application deadlines, or time-based priority rules were stated in the sources found beyond the closure/hold timing noted above.
