Our coverage this week includes our second-ever wrap-around news and sports front-to-back cover — the first being Loyola’s 2015 state championship! The cover is unique and we hope you can enjoy it and possibly hold onto your copy for a nice memory. I followed the game on Twitter (@GlencoeAnchor) while I was out of the house Saturday night, but luckily I was able to catch the end of the game on TV. While it looked like many students and families traveled to Champaign to watch the Ramblers take on Brother Rice, there was a whole other fan base online and at even at local watch parties. One particular tweet I found interesting was from Loyola’s athletics page (@LAGoRamblers). It read: “We’ve got alumni, fans, and friends all over the country rooting on the Ramblers tonight! We’ve heard from Baltimore, Orlando, Dallas, Los Angeles, and 30,000 feet in the air on a Delta flight. Rambler Nation is out in full force tonight!! Where are you watching from??” A thread of answers included: Miami; Princeton, New Jersey; Indian Shores, Florida; Washington, D.C.; on the road to Cincinnati; Prescott, Arizona; Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; Boston; and more. The list went on and on throughout the night as alumni and families contributed to the Twitter thread. It was so neat to see all these different people signing on from different locations to show their Rambler pride. I once traveled down to state at U of I, too, to cheer on the 2008 Naperville North Huskies, and would follow their run to state online again today. Loyola, be proud of your fan base — they showed up down state and in droves online! Glencoe Park District posted this photo on Nov. 16 with the caption: “Sharing Program! Our preschoolers made food together as a class and then invited their families to enjoy the meal.” Like The Glencoe Anchor: facebook.com/GlencoeAnchor “@VGlencoe residents reporting potential scam calls from (847) 835-6443, which appears as “Glencoe Schools” on caller ID.

The report was based on feedback from 18 focus groups with 154 participants and 369 responses from an online survey. District administrators, building administrators, office personnel, teachers, students, parents and community members were asked what they thought are the greatest strengths and attributes of the district, what are its greatest challenges, what are the priorities for the new superintendent and what are the most important characteristics and skills the new superintendent must possess. According to 55 percent of the respondents, the quality of the teachers and staff is the greatest strength, followed by student achievement at 47 percent and the fine arts program at 36 percent. In terms of priorities for the new superintendent, the ability to build good teams was the top-rated quality by 57 percent of those surveyed, followed by holding himself or herself accountable by 45 percent and being studentcentered by 41 percent. The respondents also want someone who sees the superintendent’s job as “a destination position.” Using the superintendent profile established by the focus groups and online responders, the district’s consultants will conduct interviews and background checks from Nov. 28-Dec. 12 and will recommend candidates to the Board of Education on Dec. 17. The board will interview these candidates on Jan. 8, 10 and 12 and select finalists. Then, the finalists will be interviewed by the stakeholders and the board from Jan. 29 and the board will make its selection on Jan. 31. Reporting by Neil Milbert, Freelance Reporter.
