The ALJ determined that Niles Township High School District 219 (“District”) violated Section 14(a)(1) of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act, 115 ILCS 5/1 et seq., by failing to reappoint David Genis as boys’ head basketball coach for 2005-06 because Niles Township Federation of Teachers, Local 1274, IFT-AFT, AFL- CIO (“Federation”) assisted Genis in a disciplinary matter. The District filed timely exceptions to the ALJ’s Recommended Decision and Order, in which it incorporated its post-hearing brief. The Federation filed a timely response to the exceptions. We have considered the ALJ’s Recommended Decision and Order, the District’s exceptions, the District’s post-hearing brief, and the Federation’s response. We have also considered the record and applicable precedents. For the reasons in this Opinion and Order, we affirm the ALJ’s Recommended Decision and Order. I. The District disputes various findings of fact made by the ALJ. The District contends that the ALJ relied on the testimony of the Federation’s witnesses and not of the District’s witnesses. The Federation argues that the ALJ’s findings of fact are supported by the record. We find that, except as modified in this Opinion and Order, the ALJ’s findings of fact are supported by the record and that the inferences that she drew are appropriate.

    MEETING: BOE Regular Meeting 7/13/2021 7:30 PM Comments are listed in the order submitted via the electronic form. -------------------------------------------- Subject Matter: Safety and Security Recommendations When I went to high school, there was not Police officer on duty at school, but then we heard about Flint Michigan in 2000. From then on, there have been school shootings yearly. Certainly not having a dedicated SRO will embolden assailants and increase these events. Drugs are another problem in high school and a police officer certainly helps deter some of this. Lastly violence between students is subdued thanks to the SRO. Removal of the SRO is nothing more than a political move that some individuals are trying to push through our school board. If any one officer shows any signs of improper conduct he should be replaced, however it cannot be assumed that all officers are out to get the minority kids. The officer is there to help our kids. I don't want people on the board with no kids in the school making bad choices for us to elevate themselves politically. Allison beerger Subject Matter: D219 bo e To the board of education at Niles North High School, I am the current parent of a Niles North High School student . I hope that you will consider appointing Dr Paul Cantz or Alan Levy for the current open board positions. I believe they will be fair and free of political biases which we need in our school. Thank you for considering their appointment. Furthermore , thank you for changing the date of graduation from the Jewish Sabbath as my child and we observe the sabbath on Saturday.

  • A Note from the Editor

    Agate Fine Print. A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Reader, I’m writing to tell you about State: A Team, a Triumph, a Transformation (August 13, 2019; Midway Books; 978-1-57284-266-3; $27), a compelling first-person account of an unlikely group of high school girls who came together to win one of their state’s first high school basketball championships after the passage of Title IX in 1972, as told by trailblazing sports journalist Melissa Isaacson. In this inspirational memoir, Isaacson shares what it was like in the 1970s for her and her teammates to live through both gender discrimination in sports and the joy of the very first days of equality—or at least the closest that one high school girls’ basketball team ever came to it. In 1975, freshman Melissa Isaacson—along with a group of other girls who’d spent summers with their noses pressed against the fences of Little League ball fields, unable to play—entered Niles West High School in suburban Chicago with one goal: make a team, any team. For Isaacson, that turned out to be the basketball team. Title IX had passed just three years earlier, prohibiting gender discrimination in education programs or activities, including athletics. As a result, states like Illinois began implementing varsity competition—and state tournaments—for girls’ high school sports. At the time, Isaacson and her teammates didn’t really understand the legislation. All they knew was that they finally had opportunities—to play, to learn, to sweat, to lose, to win—and an identity: they were athletes.
