1. District 128 Moves To Fire Veteran Administrator (patch.com) — Libertyville-area readers should know that District 128's school board has unanimously moved to begin firing longtime administrator Briant Kelly, who has been on leave since April. Officials say the proposed dismissal stems from alleged misconduct such as possible neglect of duty or breach of contract, and it comes amid ongoing criticism of how the district handled student complaints, including sexual grooming allegations.

The center, on a historic 14-acre farm in the Liberty Prairie Reserve, anchors Chicagoland's first integrated food and agriculture campus, bringing together education, research, and community-focused programming.
