Should the responsibilities of a school board member be a consideration when it comes to the professional workplace?
Stephen White, a member of the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 Board of Education, made headlines with his defense of Carlton Fisk, the 64-year old retired White Sox player on a DUI charge in New Lenox. While Fisk's case came to a close Dec. 27 — with one-year supervision — some readers debated White's position on the board. Fisk, who paid $1,250 in court costs, was also ordered to complete an alcohol abuse program. Part of that program demands that he meet with select families that had lost loved ones due to drunken drivers. "I know he is a former judge but really I don't know if it is a good idea to have someone who is involved in education of our children represent a DUI case," one commentor said. "Our schools have a program that …

Former high school teacher Ryan Gardner faces a felony in connection with threats against Lincoln-Way school officials.
A former Lincoln-Way Central High School teacher who checked himself into a Chicago hospital for psychiatric care faces a felony charge of telephone harassment in connection with alleged threats against school district officials. A warrant for the arrest of Ryan Gardner, 40, was secured late Tuesday afternoon. Gardner, who reportedly lives with his parents in downstate Danville, headed north and voluntarily checked himself into University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago, said Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow. Even though he is receiving psychiatric care, Gardner would have been able to leave the hospital of his own volition, Glasgow said. Officials hit Gardner with the felony charge, accusing him of calling Lincoln-Way School …

School Board meeting highlights: Destination Excellence awards, closing the fiscal year, public hearing for proposed 2012-2013 budget
The Lincoln-Way School District 210 Board of Education discussed its 2012-13 budget Thursday, closing the previous year with a $3.2 million deficit. The main order of business was the closing of the district's 2011-2012 budget and the passage of a resolution to display the proposed 2012-2013 budget for public inspection through Sept. 11, followed by a public hearing.

Even though the district's lawyer says there was no violation, the spectre of an infraction lingers. We examine the act and look at what breaking it could mean to the board.
Last week, talk about the state's Open Meetings Act dominated the conversation of the Summit Hill School District 161 Board's meeting, which spread over two days. Board member Sean William Doyle said he thought a Sept. 17 special meeting violated the act because the agenda was posted online less than 48 hours in advance. But Scott Nemanich, the attorney representing the district, said there was no violation because the agenda was posted on the door of the district's administrative offices within 48 hours, fulfilling the provisions of the act. Also, the time the Sept. 17 meeting actually started eliminated any violations of the act, he added. READ: Lawyer Says D161 Did Not Violate Open Meetings Act Doyle, however, said he's considering …
