The CFO of Evanston/Skokie District 65 announced she will step down at the end of June. District 65 is facing significant financial strain, and is already closing two schools at the end of this year as part of the crunch.

A trial date for former Evanston/Skokie District 65 superintendent Devon Horton, indicted on federal charges of fraud and embezzlement, has been set for October. Read from me: evanstonroundtable.com/2026/02/11/t...
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss was on the scene today twice at the same time as federal immigration enforcement agents. Seen here, in a photo from me, at the Oakton St. Home Depot.
Thank you Alex
Essential reporting here from my colleague on how the national/regional crisis of federal immigration raids is intersecting with Evanston's local school financial crisis, leaving some of District 65's most vulnerable families out of the conversations around which schools will be closed:
“He has also been asking, ‘If daddy gets deported what will we do?’”
Evanston parents say Hispanic voices have been “pushed aside” during the school closure process — all as federal immigration crackdowns sow fear. My latest @evanstonroundtable.bsky.social:

This piece is a testament to the importance of local news. The RoundTable was tipped off about the incident and got there first because of local sources. We got the interviews we did because we have built trust with sources. Proud to work for a paper that's invested in the community it serves.
So proud to have tag-teamed this piece with @alexhairysun.bsky.social and Margo Milanowski. What exactly happened when Customs and Border Patrol agents were met by community members at an Evanston intersection on Friday afternoon?

Alex it was me!
From an interview I did with an Evanston man who filmed the incident at Oakton/Asbury today:
It was a difficult season for the Chicago Sky, who finished the 2025 season with a 10-34 record. Our @hopemperry.bsky.social digs into the ups and downs of their season, and what may be coming in 2026:
NBA owners are flocking to buy into the WNBA.
Could the Reinsdorfs be next in the trend?
It appears a green object was thrown onto the court at the Sky/Valks game. I couldn't see it for myself, but seems it may be the same type as at Dream/Valks game. Security was talking to people in the 200 sections.
Fans behind the Indiana Fever bench are waving signs that say "Pay the Players" amid CBA negotiations.
For the Sky's home game vs. the Fever at the United Center:
Michaela Onyenwere – AVAILABLE (Knee)
Ariel Atkins – OUT (Leg)
Angel Reese – OUT (Back)
Hailey Van Lith – OUT (Ankle)
Moriah Jefferson – OUT (Leg)
On Wednesday night, the #ChicagoSky retired Allie Quigley's jersey ahead of their bounce-back win over the Dallas Wings. Our @hopemperry.bsky.social has more from Wintrust Arena:
Chicago Sky rookie Hailey Van Lith says her goal every day is to be herself and help the team, but it’s not an instant process.
Our @hopemperry.bsky.social explores how Van Lith is staying positive through the 'roller-coaster' moments. #WNBA
At the United Center for @thenext.bsky.social and the pre-game injury report just spelled Caitlin Clark as Caitlyn... unfortunately did not get a photo!

I'm afraid I've confirmed that The Philadelphia Inquirer ran the same "Heat Index" supplement that the Chicago Sun-Times did
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s appearance at Princeton yesterday was met with numerous protests — and actions taken by protesters are now under investigation, according to the University.

Kaitlyn Chen ’24. What a story. Lost her first year playing at Princeton due to COVID, built up her skills under an incredible Princeton coaching staff led by Carla Berube, and cashed in the covid year for a National Championship with UConn. An Ivy degree + a natty!
Five weeks ago, Mary Kate Cornett was a first-year business major dating another Ole Miss student.
Then a spurious claim about her and her boyfriend’s father spread — and was amplified by Pat McAfee, Barstool personalities and others.

For six months I read document after document unpacking how Princeton got involved in a set of private fossil fuel investments. Read about it from Princeton’s editorially independent alumni magazine here:

Been playing with some stats re: Princeton MBB's first half point totals vs second half point titles. Can they solve the urgency problem?
public.flourish.studio/story/2853224/
Junior Taylor Charles had an impressive game with 9 points, 7 rebounds, and *5* blocks.
FINAL: Princeton WBB 63, Dartmouth 39. Skye Belker picked up 16 points, and Tabitha Amanze led the team in rebounds, with 11.
