Flooding of Libertyville High School's sub-basement last month forced the campus to cancel classes for two days.
The cost to investigate and repair the damage to Libertyville High School's sub-basement, which was flooded in April, could be more than $500,000, reported the Chicago Tribune. The matter was discussed by the school board Monday. Officials are still not sure what caused the flooding, which forced the school to close for two days on April 18 and 19, reported Patch. There was no damage to classrooms, but the flooding ruined a freight elevator, furniture and other school supplies, according to the Tribune. An engineering firm hired to examine potential flood-prone areas is expected to give the district a report on May 23.

North Shore Congressman, who has been reaching out to students since January, calls local academic achievement a reason so many of Illinois’s top schools are in the 10th District.
Since taking office in January, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) has visited six schools in the 10th Congressional District and met with students in other places including his offices in Washington and Lincolnshire. When asked by students at Learn Charter School at Great Lakes May 3 about educational opportunities, Schneider was quick to point out students from the District attend nearly half of the state’s top 20 high schools.

On the seventh day of practice, players can participate in five hours of full contact drills wearing full pads, according to the IHSA. However, no single practice can exceed …
