Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• D128 Pledges Safety Reforms After Lawsuit Involving Former Teacher (patch.com) — Libertyville-Vernon Hills High School District 128 is rolling out new student-safety measures, including mandatory reporting training for all staff and a planned director of campus safety and security role. These changes follow a lawsuit and settlement involving a former teacher and are meant to reassure Libertyville families, with district leaders promising a public update before year's end.
• Driver hospitalized after semi-tanker truck hauling chemical rolls over, blocking Interstate 94 near Gurnee (lakemchenryscanner.com) — An early-morning tanker rollover on I-94 near Gurnee sent a 35-year-old driver to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, though his injuries were not serious. Libertyville firefighters helped secure the non-hazardous sodium silicate load and clear four blocked lanes, which were reopened after about an hour while state police continue investigating the cause.
• Waukegan-area home prices rising, but still more affordable: 'It's still pretty strong' (chicagotribune.com) — Waukegan-area real estate agents say home prices have climbed sharply but remain more affordable than in nearby Lake County communities like Libertyville, Barrington, and Grayslake. Higher values in places such as Libertyville could still nudge property taxes up in the county's northeast, even where sale prices are lower, while buyers juggle higher mortgage rates and tight inventory.
