The Diocese of Joliet Friday announced that a former Catholic school teacher charged with child grooming did not meet requirements to be a full-time teacher while he was at the school.
Jeremy Hylka obtained a substitute teaching license in January but was not enrolled in a teacher preparation program, which was required to continue teaching in a full-time position at St. Joseph Catholic School in Lockport, the diocese said in a statement.
Now, St. Joseph principal Lynne Scheffler has been placed on administrative leave while officials “examine the circumstances” regarding Hylka’s employment, the diocese said.
Hylka was fired April 28 after he was hit with traveling to meet a child and grooming charges stemming from an investigation into a Snapchat video that “possibly depicted inappropriate contact of an adult with a minor,” Joliet police have said.

Who wrote these things? No bylines, switches to the first person voice in the final paragraph (copy/pasted from WWJ website apparently), really difficult to understand.
So CenterPoint wants to build NorthPoint with a bridge it financed with a private bridge builder? Without knowing for sure that NorthPoint will be built?

More importantly, is there a statutory mechanism for the County of Will to basically open a toll road? I know Will County isn’t home rule, so there must be one somewhere if the County is going to get toll revenue.
