dailyheraldchicago--2020-06-01--How U-46 plans to overcome challenges of virtual summer school

Educators have a hard enough time keeping students engaged in learning during the summer , when kids would rather be outside playing with friends .

U-46 bridged the technological divide by utilizing personal Chromebooks and available portable devices to deliver instruction to nearly 38,400 students this spring .
Officials surveyed families in early May about community needs and how distance learning worked out .
`` Now we know how to do it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are able to pretty seamlessly transition to programming over the summer that is virtual . ''
Teachers will identify elementary students who require help or were n't engaged enough in distance learning and invite them to participate in summer school .
It 's up to parents to sign up .
Carpenter said the plan is to keep class sizes small -- 12 students instead of about 24 for elementary grades during the regular school year -- and more daily contact with teachers through live or recorded sessions .

dailyheraldchicago--2020-06-01--Retiring superintendent reflects on challenges, breakthroughs at District 211

During Dan Cates ' six years as superintendent , Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 attained a new level of financial stability and strived for higher standards of student preparedness for the next phases of their lives .
But despite guiding the district to debt-free status without ever seeking a tax hike , the retiring Cates may best be remembered for leading the district when it was in the national spotlight over transgender students ' rights and innovating ways to conduct instruction remotely when the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered schools .
With nearly 12,000 students at five high schools -- Conant , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schaumburg -- and two alternative high schools , District 211 is the second largest high school district in Illinois .
Cates ca n't say for sure what led to the district taking center stage on the question of transgender students ' locker room access when it 's an issue faced by every public high school district .
For months , parents , students and activists on both sides of the issue packed school board meetings as district leaders worked to balance the rights of transgender students with privacy concerns raised by some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether the district 's ultimate decision to grant students unrestricted access to the locker rooms for the gender of which they identify will prove a guide for others .
But he believes for certain that District 211 took the right course .

`` There were many challenging days .
I think we went about it in a very caring way .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are .
I would say our experience is inherently valuable to other districts who may face this issue in the future .
I know we tried to do the right thing for all students . ''
Though in part defined by his leadership during the debate over transgender student rights , Cates ' tenure is ending amid the upheaval to the traditional high school experience caused by the pandemic .
Being a firm believer in the notion that a school community -- when working best -- is a family , Cates is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in circumstances that keep its members apart .
But in the drive-by parades and socially distanced celebrations marking the Class of 2020 's graduations , he saw the proof of his highest hopes for those bonds .
`` It was clearly evident to me that both our teachers and our students were so excited to see each other , '' Cates said .
`` I could see it in their eyes that our schools do function as a family .
It 's critically important for kids to feel connections . ''
He considers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years those times he would go to one of the schools , join some students at lunch and ask them who the teacher or staff member was who 'd made a difference in their lives .

During Dan Cates' six years as superintendent, Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 attained a new level of financial stability and strived for higher standards of student preparedness for the next phases of their lives.
But despite guiding the district to debt-free status without ever seeking a tax hike referendum, the retiring Cates may best be remembered for leading the district when it was in the national spotlight over transgender students' rights and innovating ways to conduct instruction remotely when the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered schools.
With nearly 12,000 students at five high schools -- Conant, Fremd, Hoffman Estates, Palatine and Schaumburg -- and two alternative high schools, District 211 is the second largest high school district in Illinois.
Cates can't say for sure what led to the district taking center stage on the question of transgender students' locker room access when it's an issue faced by every public high school district. For months, parents, students and activists on both sides of the issue packed school board meetings as district leaders worked to balance the rights of transgender students with privacy concerns raised by some of their classmates.
Cates won't predict whether the district's ultimate decision to grant students unrestricted access to the locker rooms for the gender of which they identify will prove a guide for others.
But he believes for certain that District 211 took the right course.
"I like to think our district had the right combination of people and the right setting and the right level of support at the right time," Cates said. "There were many challenging days. I think we went about it in a very caring way. I'm very pleased we are where we are. I would say our experience is inherently valuable to other districts who may face this issue in the future.

Though in part defined by his leadership during the debate over transgender student rights, Cates' tenure is ending amid the upheaval to the traditional high school experience caused by the pandemic.
Being a firm believer in the notion that a school community -- when working best -- is a family, Cates is not quick to recognize any silver linings in circumstances that keep its members apart. But in the drive-by parades and socially distanced celebrations marking the Class of 2020's graduations, he saw the proof of his highest hopes for those bonds.
"It was clearly evident to me that both our teachers and our students were so excited to see each other," Cates said. "I could see it in their eyes that our schools do function as a family. It's critically important for kids to feel connections."
He considers among the highlights of the past six years those times he would go to one of the schools, join some students at lunch and ask them who the teacher or staff member was who'd made a difference in their lives.
"Without exception, every student had someone," he said. "Kids know when you are the one who is going to care about them."
Perhaps the most memorable lesson from his own training was when he was told that what students need to succeed is a caring adult, access to opportunities and high expectations.
He knows that is true because it had been his truth. And that's part of the reason District 211 is putting greater emphasis on college and career readiness.
"More kids are earning more college credit (while in high school) than ever before," Cates said. "Were it not for opportunities and the ability to access higher education, my life would look radically different."

ROME -- Gone are the days of the half-million euro Christmas Nativity scene in St. Peter 's Square .
The Vatican is centralizing its contracting and procurement procedures in a bid to cut waste , root out corruption and bring the Holy See 's finances into the 21st century .
Pope Francis approved new norms governing contract bids and purchasing in his latest effort to reform the Vatican 's finances , which have grown even more precarious amid the coronavirus pandemic and closure of the Holy See 's main cash cow , the Vatican Museums .
The Museums reopened Monday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But the main source of revenue for the Holy See is looking at a significant shortfall this year given the collapse of the tourism industry that provides a steady flow of visitors to the Sistine Chapel .
The reform comes as the Holy See is facing an embarrassing financial scandal involving a 150 million-euro investment in a London real estate venture that involved a host of shady characters who allegedly fleeced the pope of millions of euros .
The new procurement reforms do n't address how the Holy See invests its assets .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vatican from now will be a bit more selective in the contractors and companies with whom it does business .
The new code calls for a centralized list of businesses that can bid for Vatican contracts , and lists the criteria of those that can be excluded : any company or individual in bankruptcy proceedings or under investigation or convicted of crimes such as fraud , mafia ties , tax evasion or corruption .
It also imposes norms to avoid conflicts of interest both among Vatican officials awarding contracts and in the companies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transparency in the procedures and lays out how contested bids and contracts can be adjudicated in the Vatican criminal tribunal .
The Vatican 's out-of-control spending first came to light during the 2012 VatiLeaks scandal , when leaked internal documents revealed that the Vatican City State had paid 550,000 euro for its 2009 life-sized Christmas Nativity scene in St. Peter 's Square .
Since then , the Vatican has relied on donated or lower-cost Christmas scenes .
But spending and contracting has long been disorganized , with each Vatican congregation going its own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ competitive bidding procedures that would be expected for a public administration .
Even before the virus and resulting global economic slowdown , the Vatican was looking at a multi-million euro deficit for the foreseeable future , though officials denied it was at risk of default this year .

The Museums reopened Monday for the first time since March. But the main source of revenue for the Holy See is looking at a significant shortfall this year given the collapse of the tourism industry that provides a steady flow of visitors to the Sistine Chapel.
The reform comes as the Holy See is facing an embarrassing financial scandal involving a 150 million-euro investment in a London real estate venture that involved a host of shady characters who allegedly fleeced the pope of millions of euros.
The new procurement reforms don't address how the Holy See invests its assets. But they do make clear that the Vatican from now will be a bit more selective in the contractors and companies with whom it does business.
The new code calls for a centralized list of businesses that can bid for Vatican contracts, and lists the criteria of those that can be excluded: any company or individual in bankruptcy proceedings or under investigation or convicted of crimes such as fraud, mafia ties, tax evasion or corruption.
It also imposes norms to avoid conflicts of interest both among Vatican officials awarding contracts and in the companies bidding for them. It calls for transparency in the procedures and lays out how contested bids and contracts can be adjudicated in the Vatican criminal tribunal.
The Vatican's out-of-control spending first came to light during the 2012 VatiLeaks scandal, when leaked internal documents revealed that the Vatican City State had paid 550,000 euro for its 2009 life-sized Christmas Nativity scene in St. Peter's Square.
Since then, the Vatican has relied on donated or lower-cost Christmas scenes.
But spending and contracting has long been disorganized, with each Vatican congregation going its own way to find contractors without any organized competitive bidding procedures that would be expected for a public administration.
Even before the virus and resulting global economic slowdown, the Vatican was looking at a multi-million euro deficit for the foreseeable future, though officials denied it was at risk of default this year.

Aurora business owner: 'I fought to have this store and I wasn't going to just give it up'

When she returned to her business, I of the Angeles, along East Galena Boulevard, De Los Angeles found a broken window and crowds of young people damaging other nearby businesses.
"I grabbed a baseball bat because I wanted to protect the store," she said.
De Los Angeles and several others stood for hours in front of her store and adjacent shops doing the best they could to stop looters who ultimately would do an estimated $3 million damage to Aurora businesses.
"There were no adults here," she said. "These were children. These were adolescents just ranting and raving."
De Los Angeles yelled at the mob, ordering them to stay away from her business.

She told them they were wrong; she had used all her savings to open the small store last August.
What unfolded on Sunday night "was a nightmare," she said. Several businesses, including a jewelry store and a gas station, were looted. One store was destroyed in a fire.

WASHINGTON -- Amid racial unrest across the nation, President Donald Trump on Monday declared himself "the president of law and order" and threatened to deploy the United States military to American cities to quell a rise of violent protests.
As Trump spoke, an incredible TV split screen developed around the White House. While he addressed the nation in the White House's idyllic Rose Garden, a series of military vehicles rolled out front on Pennsylvania Avenue and military police and law enforcement clashed with protesters at Lafayette Park.
Those peaceful demonstrators were cleared so Trump could walk across the park to St. John's Episcopal Church, known as "The Church of the Presidents," which suffered fire damage in a protest this week. Holding a Bible, he then stood with several of his Cabinet members as the cameras clicked.
"We have the greatest country in the world," Trump declared. "We're going to keep it safe."
Trump said he would mobilize "thousands and thousands" of soldiers to keep the peace if governors did not use the National Guard to shut down the protests. Loud tear gas explosions could be heard as authorities moved what appeared to be peaceful protests in the park. The escalation came just after Attorney General William Barr came to the park to survey the demonstrators.
According to senior defense officials, between 600 and 800 National Guard members from five states were being sent to Washington to provide assistance. Those troops were either already on the ground or will arrive by midnight.
Under the Civil War-era Posse Comitatus Act, federal troops are prohibited from performing domestic law enforcement actions such as making arrests, seizing property or searching people. In extreme cases, however, the president can invoke the Insurrection Act, also from the Civil War, which allows the use of active-duty or National Guard troops for law enforcement.

Trump spoke to governors on a video teleconference that also included law enforcement and national security officials, telling the state leaders they "have to get much tougher."

dailyheraldchicago--2020-06-01--Family autopsy: Floyd asphyxiated by sustained pressure

MINNEAPOLIS -- An autopsy commissioned for George Floyd 's family found that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression when a Minneapolis police officer held his knee on Floyd 's neck for several minutes and ignored his cries of distress , the family 's attorneys said Monday .

The family 's autopsy differs from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminal complaint against the officer .
That autopsy included the effects of being restrained , along with underlying health issues and potential intoxicants in Floyd 's system , but also said it found nothing `` to support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation . ''

His death , captured on citizen video , sparked days of protests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around America .
The official autopsy last week provided no other details about intoxicants , and toxicology results can take weeks .

Crump said last week that he was commissioning the family 's own autopsy .
Floyd 's family , like the families of other black men killed by police , wanted an independent look because they did n't trust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The family 's autopsy was conducted by Michael Baden and Allecia Wilson .
Baden is the former chief medical examiner of New York City , who was hired to conduct an autopsy of Eric Garner , a black man who died in 2014 after New York police placed him in a chokehold and he pleaded that he could not breathe .
Baden also conducted an independent autopsy of Michael Brown , an 18-year-old shot by police in Ferguson , Missouri .

Family autopsy: Floyd asphyxiated by sustained pressure

MINNEAPOLIS -- An autopsy commissioned for George Floyd's family found that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression when a Minneapolis police officer held his knee on Floyd's neck for several minutes and ignored his cries of distress, the family's attorneys said Monday.
The autopsy by a doctor who also examined Eric Garner's body found the compression cut off blood to Floyd's brain, and weight on his back made it hard to breathe, attorney Ben Crump said at a news conference.
The family's autopsy differs from the official autopsy as described in a criminal complaint against the officer. That autopsy included the effects of being restrained, along with underlying health issues and potential intoxicants in Floyd's system, but also said it found nothing "to support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation."
Floyd, a black man who was in handcuffs at the time, died after the white officer ignored bystander shouts to get off him and Floyd's cries that he couldn't breathe. His death, captured on citizen video, sparked days of protests in Minneapolis that have spread to cities around America.
The official autopsy last week provided no other details about intoxicants, and toxicology results can take weeks. In the 911 call that drew police, the caller described the man suspected of paying with counterfeit money as "awfully drunk and he's not in control of himself."
Crump said last week that he was commissioning the family's own autopsy. Floyd's family, like the families of other black men killed by police, wanted an independent look because they didn't trust local authorities to produce an unbiased autopsy.
The family's autopsy was conducted by Michael Baden and Allecia Wilson. Baden is the former chief medical examiner of New York City, who was hired to conduct an autopsy of Eric Garner, a black man who died in 2014 after New York police placed him in a chokehold and he pleaded that he could not breathe.
Baden also conducted an independent autopsy of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old shot by police in Ferguson, Missouri. He said Brown's autopsy, requested by the teen's family, didn't reveal signs of a struggle, casting doubt on a claim by police that a struggle between Brown and the officer led to the shooting.
The officer who held his knee on Floyd's neck, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter and is in custody in a state prison. The other three officers on scene, like Chauvin, were fired the day after the incident but have not been charged.
Crump on Monday called for the remaining three officers to be arrested and for the charge against Chauvin to be upgraded to first-degree murder.
The head of the Minneapolis police union said in a letter to members that the officers were fired without due process and labor attorneys are fighting for their jobs. Lt. Bob Kroll, the union president, also criticized city leadership, saying a lack of support is to blame for the days of sometimes violent protests.
When asked to respond, Mayor Jacob Frey said: "For a man who complains so frequently about a lack of community trust and support for the police department, Bob Kroll remains shockingly indifferent to his role in undermining that trust and support." Frey said Kroll's opposition to reform and lack of empathy for the community has undermined trust in the police.
Gov. Tim Walz announced Sunday that Attorney General Keith Ellison would take the lead in any prosecutions in Floyd's death. Local civil rights activists have said Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman doesn't have the trust of the black community. They have protested outside his house, and pressed him to charge the other three officers.
Freeman remains on the case.

Mayor Irvin: 'Those looters didn't damage the true spirit of Aurora'
Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin had two messages Monday.
First, he's proud of how residents came together to clean up areas of town damaged by looters and vandals Sunday night.
Second, people should think twice if they intend to try again to hurt the city he loves.
"Those looters didn't damage the true spirit of Aurora," Irvin said at a news conference. "I am still standing. Aurora is still standing."
But, "Aurora will be ready for you if you try to cause destruction in our community. We will not put up with this BS and foolishness."
As a black man born and raised in the United States, Irvin said he understands the anger and frustration many minorities feel about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, as well as other race-related killings.
He said he was honored to speak at a peaceful protest Sunday afternoon in front of the police department.
"What I don't understand is how the numbers grew significantly, with people from outside Aurora using strategic (methods) to sow discord and crime," he said.
Police Chief Kristen Ziman said 17 people were arrested in connection with the violence and she expects more arrests to come as police continue to review videos and investigate.
Several detainees were processed in Kane County bond call Monday. As of midafternoon Monday, Aurora has not publicized who was arrested, or whether they lived in Aurora or elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Irvin enacted a curfew for the second day in a row, prohibiting all but essential workers from being on the streets from 8:30 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday.
He also announced the exits from I-88 to Aurora will be closed to nonresidents. The city later announced that all downtown streets will be closed until further notice.
Fire Chief Gary Krienitz said the building housing the Family Dollar store on East New York Street was destroyed by arson, but that the department was able to put out an attempt to set First Midwest Bank on Broadway on fire. He said it was difficult for ambulances to respond to other calls for service coming from areas of the unrest.
Ziman said other police departments helped fill in other areas of Aurora, including Sugar Grove taking calls on the west side of town.
Three owners of damaged downtown properties also spoke at the news conference. "The neighbors, they were protecting our business from the looters. It was quite amazing," said Crystal House owner Elias Akwo said.
"That should tell everybody something. That restores our faith in humanity and in Aurora. No matter what, we will prevail," said Harish Ananthapadmanabhan of JH Real Estate Partners, which owns 11 downtown buildings.
"We are going to make Broadway beautiful again. And that is because we love each other and we are a family," said Marissa Amoni, Downtown Aurora manager, speaking of the volunteers who came out early Monday to remove graffiti, sweep up glass and other debris and help businesses board up broken windows.
Irvin estimated property damage at $3 million.
Ziman confirmed that shots were fired at several squad cars. She said the department's Critical Incident Intel Center is looking for any threats. That includes monitoring social media.
When the CIIC was introduced in 2018, Ziman had said doing so could help the department learn about potential protests.
Ziman estimated there were roughly 800 people at the rally at the police department, and that the number grew to about 1,200 people downtown.


dailyheraldchicago--2020-06-01--Pritzker tells Trump his rhetoric is 'making it worse' as protests rage on

SPRINGFIELD -- During a conference call Monday , Gov .
J.B. Pritzker told President Donald Trump he took issue with his tone and lack of unifying response as protests raged around the country .
Trump admonished the governors for what he deemed a weak response to protests , which were sparked by the death of George Floyd , an unarmed Minneapolis man who died May 25 after being pinned to the ground for nearly nine minutes with a white police officer 's knee on his neck .
`` You have to dominate , if you do n't dominate you 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to run over you .
You 're going to look like a bunch of jerks .
You have to dominate , '' Trump told the governors , according to CBS news , which obtained audio recordings of the call .
The president called violent and destructive protesters `` terrorists , '' according to audio of the phone call shared by The New York Times .
He said the governors must charge those protesters with crimes and give them punishments lasting years .
`` They 're anarchists , whether you like it or not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` I know some of you guys have a different persuasion and that 's OK , I totally understand .
I understand .
I 'm for everybody .
I 'm representing everybody .
I 'm not representing radical right , radical left .
I 'm representing everybody .
But you have to know what you 're dealing with , and it 's happened before .
It 's happened numerous times .
And the only time it 's successful is when you 're weak . ''
Last week , Trump posted to Facebook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starts , the shooting starts . ''
He has not formally addressed the nation since Floyd was killed or since widespread protesting began .
`` Someone throwing a rock is like shooting a gun , '' Trump told the governors in the Monday phone call .
`` You have to do retribution . ''
In response , Pritzker told Trump his rhetoric is making the situation worse .
`` I wanted to take this moment -- and I ca n't let it pass -- to speak up and say that I 've been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been used by you , '' Pritzker said , according to a transcript .
`` It 's been inflammatory , and it 's not OK for that officer to choke George Floyd to death .
But we have to call for calm .
We have to have police reform called for .
We 've called out our National guard and our state police , but the rhetoric that 's coming out of the White House is making it worse .
And I need to say that people are feeling real pain out there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leadership in calling for calm and making sure that we 're addressing the concerns of the legitimate peaceful protesters .
That will help us to bring order . ''
Pritzker , as recently as last week , called Trump a `` xenophobe '' and a `` racist '' in a public news conference .
Since he ran for governor in 2018 , Pritzker has frequently criticized the president , and the pair has sparred about the federal government 's novel coronavirus response .
`` OK , well , thank you very much , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the governor .
`` I do n't like your rhetoric much either because I watched it with respect to the coronavirus , and I do n't like your rhetoric much either .
I think you could 've done a much better job , frankly .
But that 's OK. And you know , we do n't agree with each other . ''
With protests continuing in several Illinois cities Monday , Pritzker hosted a media availability from the James R. Thompson Center in Chicago and addressed the matter upon questioning .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fanned the flames instead of bringing peace and calm , '' he said .
`` It is usually the job of the president to stand up in these circumstances and try to bring down the temperature ; that 's not what this president does . ''
