Across Illinois, principals show up every day for their students, educators, families and communities. This Illinois Principals Appreciation Week, ISBE is proud to recognize the dedicated school leaders who work tirelessly to help every student succeed. #ThankAPrincipal.
I enjoy serving on the @trs_illinois board… but anyone who knows me also knows that I process information better when I doodle (thus #doodlesupt). Here are the results of today’s meeting. Middle one kind of reminds me of Predator movie.
I always enjoy welcoming new employees to the @ISBEnews and join all our “meet and greets.” We attract such amazing talent to the agency to compliment a great team.
Currently I am looking for a Chief Internal Audit Officer.

After the federal government ended the Blue Ribbon Schools program last year, Illinois stepped in and established our own.
Here, we believe that educational excellence should be celebrated.
Today, I’m proud to recognize 24 schools as the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools for 2026.

National Board Certification is more than a credential - It's a pathway to stronger teaching and better student outcomes. That's why Illinois is expanding access to this nationally recognized credential. Read more in @TonySandersSupt's column: okt.to/pYU9kr
