@TonySandersU46 @lisaaaaa_taylor @JGreenmc Ya I think it was a mistake lol! Like the schedule and send was set up too early :) … either way I wasn’t happy to again receive something that supposedly they were not going to give guidance on … on a Friday!

@zepbrewer @lisaaaaa_taylor @JGreenmc Say what? I didn't get it until after 4 pm. How do I get on that list? Or is it a time zone thing?

We have a winner! @lisaaaaa_taylor guessed that ISBE would release their updated guidance today after 4 p.m. Guidance came out out via email at 4:32 p.m.! Nice Job, Dr. Taylor. Our first runner up is @JGreenmc who guessed 4:59 p.m. on the dot. So so close! Congrats to both!

If you watch nothing more this week, watch this. This is always the why. youtu.be/nTFlFyJr_U8

@sboucek Thank you Sara … I have a sign in my office that states what is your “why” I ask my staff this when they are struggling … today I needed this, to remind me!!!! 👍🏼

Education only accounts for 2% of all federal spending, yet it is often the first area targeted for cuts. What deserves investment more than our nation’s children? Tell Congress to support what matters most at bit.ly/3wDL2Tu. #SELS2021 #4SpecialEducatio

@crabsupt1 Thanks for your service! Enjoy retirement.

Today is my last official day as a working Superintendent. Tomorrow, I am officially retired. My thoughts and prayers are with those who currently serve our schools. You have a huge load to shoulder. You will succeed. I have no doubt.

Jimmie Allen coming to Marion! Presented by Cody Dunbar Shows! Tickets on sale today. Hurry they will go fast!

The promise of a new year brings about a renewed sense of urgency to advocate for equity for public school children. I look forward to the opportunity to add my voice to the thousands of like-minded educators that believe in the value of quality educational experiences for all

One of the benefits of #SEL is that it reminds us that no one is born w/ the ability to resolve conflict, manage emotions, or effectively problem-solve complex issues. The development of these skills takes place through daily practice and incremental progress. #growthmindset

We are so excited about having a friend and colleague in the White House with @DrBiden, an educator and longtime NEA member, as First Lady! A compassionate leader, she is ready to listen and prioritize educators’ needs at the federal level and we can't wait to partner with her!

This my friends is HISTORY in the making. It’s about time! A country with possibilities EXCLAMATION POINT yes @KamalaHarris it is and thank you for your positive affirmation that anything is possible. My family and I look forward to your work! #womenleaders #possibilities

I want to live in a country where decency, honesty, competency, and empathy trump partisanship.

Be happy

The polls are open at the Civic Center until 3 p.m.

Supporting kids’ social and emotional needs starts before they even get in the room—and it needs to continue throughout the day. “Maslow before Bloom” is more important than ever, and a toolkit of strategies might be just what you need. edutopia.org/article/how-ma…

“Everybody’s different. And everybody’s valuable. The world can be a better place because you were born into it.”

A mere 1% undercount in the census would cost Illinois at least $195 million in federal school funds each year for the next decade. Census counts also determine Medicaid, SNAP, Section 8 housing, Children’s Health Insurance Program, and WIC. Remember, we have just six days left!

A true depiction of a leader!
