EDWARDSVILLE - The Edwardsville Community Unit School District #7 Board of Education spoke about how to spend the remaining $10 million in the 2023 bond and how the money could be used to address abatement and construction at Hamel Elementary School. Superintendent Dr. Patrick Shelton explained that the district held community engagement sessions in 2022 to get a better understanding of their facility needs. At this point, there were also conversations about consolidating Hamel and Midway Elementary Schools. Through these engagement sessions and surveys, the district identified the top three project priorities. These priorities were installing double-entry doors at the remaining schools and rebuilding Lincoln Middle School on-site. The district finished both projects this past summer. The third priority was Hamel Elementary School asbestos abatement and classroom build. The district decided not to move forward with the Hamel-Midway consolidation at that time, which meant Midway

CHICAGO – Today, Governor JB Pritzker signed Executive Order 2025-05 directing state agencies to identify up to 4% of Fiscal Year 2026 General Funds appropriations to reserve in order to mitigate the impact of Trump’s disastrous economic policies while working to maintain core services. The action comes as all states, including Illinois, are forced to manage the Trump and Congressional Republicans’ budget bill that threatens state revenue streams and places pressure on Illinois’ fiscal stability. Trump’s reckless economic policies are wrecking state economies, stifling job growth, and increasing unemployment in key sectors. At the same time, Trump’s tariffs are taxing working families, increasing the costs of everyday goods and disrupting supply chains. This chaos is making it harder for businesses to hire, expand production, or maintain payrolls. In the coming months, Trump’s budget bill will further compound these pressures, creating uncertainty

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is reminding Illinoisans to take appropriate precautions against tick bites after an Illinois resident became seriously ill with Powassan – a tickborne illness that had not previously been detected in this state. IDPH and the local health department are currently investigating whether the resident was exposed to the illness through a tick bite here in Illinois or in a different state. IDPH says the case serves as a reminder to protect oneself against any and all illnesses associated with ticks. “With warm weather still prevalent, tick-borne diseases remain a potential threat here in Illinois,” said IDPH Director Dr. Sameer Vohra. “It’s important for everyone to guard against tick bites and the serious illnesses they can cause. We urge everyone to ‘Fight the Bite’ by reducing opportunities for exposures and repelling tick bites by wearing preventive clothing. If you have
