The Lt. Governor and the Illinois Council of Women and Girls is launching the second year of the Girls Lead program. This is a unique job shadowing and mentor opportunity for girls in 5th-12th grade. Each girl is paired with a woman in a senior leadership role in state government. Some examples of the mentors include General Assemblywoman, Chiefs of Staff, and Agency Directors. The goal is for girls to learn about a possible career path and the vast opportunities within state government. Throughout the program, there will be other opportunities as well for girls to gain valuable skills and learn about leadership. The program is tailored based upon the grade level. Please see the attached flyer for more information and feel free to share! We want to ensure every girl in Illinois can apply to the program. (PLEASE NOTE: The deadline to apply has been extended to October 27th.)

SELf Academy begins in October! Registration is open now!

The Regional Crisis Response and Reunification Team, comprised of local school administrators/staff, law enforcement, fire, and emergency management, has been meeting and planning for over two years now to coordinate our school safety plans and to standardize our response methods. We recently had the opportunity to bring in Jason Kelley, a retired law enforcement office and instructor with the "I Love U Guys Foundation", for a full-day training on the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method. The training prepared the team to go out and train members of their organizations on the standardized methods. The safety of our area students is a priority, and we will continue to train and plan knowing that we are stronger together. If you would like to learn more about the "I Love U Guys Foundation", please visit iloveuguys.org.
