Newest IHSA proposals broach debate between public, private schools

The Illinois High School Association introduced several major proposals that center around alleged growing disparities between public and private schools across high school sports statewide. The list of proposals can be found here . Proposal 8, submitted by the West Suburban Conference out of the Chicago area, would place public (boundary) and private (non-boundary) schools in separate playoffs altogether in sports that feature three or more classifications. In football specifically, public schools would compete in Classes 1A-6A according by enrollment, while private schools would participate in Classes 7A-8A. SHG pro connection: SHG's Demetrius Roberson follows former Illini receiver's footsteps In other sports, non-boundary schools would be grouped into one playoff, while boundary schools compete in their own separate classifications. Proposal 15, also out of the West Suburban Conference, is less drastic. It would allow public and private schools to compete for the same state trophies but would carve out separate pathways for public and private schools to reach the state semifinals. For example, private schools could be placed in one or two quadrants that lead to the state semis, while public schools occupy the remaining quadrants. Proposal 0, submitted by Williamsville, would enhance the enrollment multiplier that is levied on

Water bottle strikes high school soccer official after upset win, sparking IHSA probe

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) announced on Tuesday, Nov. 3, that it is investigating "disturbing actions" directed toward an official on Friday, Oct. 30. The incident followed an IHSA Boys Soccer State Series contest at Glenbard South High School (Glen Ellyn, IL). According to the Daily Herald , official Hanah Shehaiber was assaulted while leaving the field after she officiated a boys soccer Class 2A sectional final between No. 7 Glenbard South and No. 1 Juarez (Chicago, IL). Glenbard South pulled off a 3-1 upset win. Social media video shows that as officials were escorted off the field, a Juarez supporter threw a full bottle of water at them. The water bottle struck Shehaiber in the back and caused her injury. "The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) vehemently condemns disrespectful behavior toward game officials and believes it is imperative that all school administrators, coaches, and fellow fans take an active role in addressing and preventing abusive behavior they witness at any age or level," the statement from the IHSA read. "The IHSA is currently investigating disturbing actions that were directed toward game officials following an IHSA Boys Soccer State Series contest at Glenbard South High School on October 30.

Group prepares lawsuit against Illinois school district over gender policies

(The Center Square) – Liberty Justice Center is preparing a federal lawsuit against Community High School District 128, arguing its gender support guidelines and overnight student room-assignment procedures violate parental rights, religious freedom and protections for female students. The organization’s plans follow an Oct. 21 response from the district’s attorneys rejecting its allegations and maintaining that the policies comply with federal and state law. Kathryn Cosgrove, an attorney with Liberty Justice Center, told The Center Square the organization had hoped its initial demand letter would prompt district officials to change the policies without litigation. “We received their letter on Oct. 21, stating that they think that their policies are in compliance with the law, which is simply not true,” Cosgrove said. The dispute centers on the district’s Gender Support Guidelines and Procedures for Assigning Rooms for Overnight Student Trips. Liberty Justice Center argues the policies fail to adequately protect parents’ rights to information about their children’s education and school experiences. Cosgrove said the organization learned about the policies through a mother who provided copies of the documents and connected the organization with concerned families. She declined to disclose specific details about potential plaintiffs while the organization prepares its case. One

Carl Sandburg student named top Illinois community college scholar

Kaden Pickard once doubted college was the right path after earning a grade point average below 2.0, but the Carl Sandburg College student is now being recognized as the top community college student in Illinois. Pickard, 23, of Galesburg has been named the Illinois community college Student Laureate by lincolnacademyillinois.org , according to a community announcement. The distinction recognizes one graduating student to represent Illinois' entire community college system in addition to student laureates selected from the state's four-year colleges and universities. “There are 45 community colleges in Illinois and 600,000 students enrolled in those colleges,” Pickard said. “Those are 600,000 other students who could have been nominated, could have won the award, and it's me. It's surreal.” Pickard was honored at an award program Oct. 24 at the Old State Capitol in Springfield. The recognition includes the Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Award, a Lincoln medallion, a challenge coin and a $1,000 check. He is the second Sandburg student to earn Student Laureate honors. Zana Danner received the recognition in 2018. From struggling student to award winner Pickard enrolled at Sandburg after graduating from Galesburg High School in 2021 and entered the college's basic industrial manufacturing maintenance program.
