Today's riddle: Who's in favor of bringing back Roman Numerals? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• How much higher was average administrator pay than teacher pay in Rondout School District 72 in 2024-25? (lakecountygazette.com) — Glen Ellyn's Community Consolidated School District 89 appears in a new statewide comparison of administrator and teacher pay, with average administrator salaries at $156,663 and teacher salaries at $93,974. The report centers on Rondout School District 72's larger pay gap but also shows how Glen Ellyn and other districts stack up amid ongoing teacher shortages across Illinois.
• DuPage PADS Won't Screen Homeless Clients for Criminal Records — and Never Has, Records Show (dupagepolicyjournal.com) — Downtown Glen Ellyn's homelessness debate takes center stage as the article reports DuPage PADS has never conducted routine criminal-background or warrant checks on shelter clients, despite past sex offender cases tied to its network. It scrutinizes the nonprofit's growing budget, its Housing First-style approach, and the role of First Congregational Church of Glen Ellyn, contrasting this philosophy with calls for stricter screening and enforcement-focused alternatives.
• 'Squad' member Ramirez, who represents Wheaton, Glen Ellyn in Congress, calls to end U.S. border law enforcement (dupagepolicyjournal.com) — Glen Ellyn residents are highlighted as part of Rep. Delia Ramirez's district as she proposes the "Reimagining Safety Act," which would abolish ICE and CBP and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security. The article sharply critiques the plan, arguing it effectively creates open borders and redirects at least $150 billion from federal enforcement to social programs, while questioning how immigration laws would be enforced.
