• Skokie Board Review Finds Open Meetings Act Violation In Ethics Case (patch.com) — Skokie residents are learning that the Illinois Attorney General found the Village Board violated the Open Meetings Act by handling an ethics complaint about former Trustee James Johnson in closed session without issuing a required written decision. The ruling centers on how the board rejected the Skokie Ethics Commission's recommended fine and now requires trustees to prepare a formal explanation of their reasoning for the public record.
• Miami Jewish launches global challenge to get day schools to embrace AI (ejewishphilanthropy.com) — A Skokie Hebrew day school leader invested up to 100 hours building an AI-powered assessment platform that just won second place in a global education technology contest and is saving his school thousands of dollars a year.
