Tony Sanders hopes to have “the opportunity to say a few words (of goodbye),” just as he’s been doing by visiting as many Elgin U-46 schools as he can before taking over as state superintendent of schools.
District U-46 Superintendent Tony Sanders poses with students during an event in October 2022.
The timing of Sanders’ departure is somewhat complicated given that it comes just weeks before voters in the state’s second largest school district will be asked to approve a bond referendum to help fund a massive capital improvements plan that could cost anywhere from $310 million to $380 million.District U-46 student advisers surprised Superintendent Tony Sanders with a surprise party last week to celebrate his appointment to state superintendent of schools. He assumes his new job Feb. 23.
Simultaneous to that, the district is transitioning to a system in which students can choose to follow an educational pathway in high school or they can apply to attend a magnet academy, which will be established at each of the high schools. The intention is to align students with classes that prepare them for the college degree or trade they want to pursue.
Eventually all U-46 schools will use this approach, Sanders said, shifting away from what he called the “Stand and Deliver” way of teaching. The program is now being implemented in 13 grade schools and at Tefft Middle School in Streamwood.The new approach could be a key in helping students make up ground lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.“The pandemic took its toll in U-46 and most school districts. There’s a lot to make up.
“Their efforts were truly heroic,” he said. “They took the worst of situations and made things tolerable,” Sanders said.
