Mark Cohen, the associate principal at Lincoln-Way Central, was announced Thursday as the successor to North Principal Michael Gardner, who is retiring at the end of the 2012-13 school year.
The successor to Lincoln-Way North Principal Michael Gardner was announced Thursday at the District 210 school board meeting.

The Lincoln-Way school board met Thursday night and approved the retirement of North principal Michael Gardner, effective June 2013, and Supt. Wyllie shared an anecdote about how he determines whether to call of school.
The Lincoln-Way school board finished its Thursday meeting quickly, and that might have been for the best—Supt. Larry Wyllie had the snow to worry about and a possible 2:30 a.m. wake up call. Even with heavy snow falling most of Thursday, Wyllie was confident the Lincoln-Way schools will be open today. But how does he determine that? "It's not very scientific," he said. If the snowfall is looking bad over any night, a security guard at Lincoln-Way Central will call Wyllie early in the morning. Then Wyllie will call Deputy Supt. Tom Eddy, and the two hit the roads. They'll drive throughout the district (remember, that's a 105-square-mile area), and if they make it back to the district office without getting stuck, that usually means school'…
