Lipke and Manaseri: Community Context Community Context: Influence and Implications for School Leadership Preparation Tamara Lipke State University of New York at Oswego Holly Manaseri University of Rochester Introduction Research on school leadership shows that principals can significantly impact student achievement by influencing classroom instruction, organizational conditions, community support and setting the teaching and learning conditions in schools (Marzano, Waters, & McNulty, 2004). Moreover, strong principals provide a multiplier effect that enables improvement initiatives to succeed (Manna, 2015). Yet each year, as many as 22% of current principals retire or leave their schools or the profession (U.S. Department of Education, 2014) requiring districts to either promote or hire new principals to fill vacancies (School Leaders Network, 2014).

    Ethics Conversations Continue in Springfield As Lawmakers from Both Sides of the Aisle at the Illinois Statehouse Continue to Of

    Ethics Conversations Continue in Springfield As lawmakers from both sides of the aisle at the Illinois statehouse continue to offer up ideas they believe must be implemented to curb corruption and clean up ethics, one is looking to give local prosecutors power to wiretap public corruption suspects. During a virtual press conference Thursday, state Sen. Dale Righter laid out how tumultuous it’s been with Democrats getting targeted by federal prosecutors. “So over the last 15 months, four legislators have been indicted and another one is shall we say under the intense scrutiny of the federal government is a very wide-ranging investigating,” Righter said. Last year Democratic state Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, was charged with embezzling money from a labor union. Cullerton is still a member of the General Assembly and the case is pending. Also last year, former state Rep. Luis Arroyo, D-Chicago, was arrested for bribing an unnamed state Senator who was wearing a wire. Arroyo later stepped down from the legislature. Earlier this year former state Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Cicero, pleaded guilty to running cover for the red light camera industry while taking money on the side. He’s cooperating with further investigations. Earlier this month, former state Sen. Terry Link, D-Vernon Hills, pleaded guilty to tax evasion. Link is believed to be the state Senator who wore a wire for federal prosecutors in the Arroyo case, though he’s denied that. Tuesday in Springfield the second hearing of a special House Investigating Committee is looking into a ComEd bribery scheme that implicated House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago.
