Jill Reedy, Regional Superintendent of Schools; Shane Brandel, ROE 39 Director of School Safety; Cheryl Warner, Superintendent of Warrensburg-Latham; ROE 39 Truancy Officers Charley Hendricks and James Callaway; and ROE 39 Health, Life, and Safety Inspector Chad Ramey attended the Illinois School Safety Conference in Niles, IL. Keynote speakers included Commander Scott Bryd from the Metropolitan Police Department of Nashville, a Covenant School emergency responder; Dr. Melissa Reeves, a nationally certified school psychologist; and First Sergeant Matt Eversmann, portrayed in the epic film Black Hawk Down. The conference also featured a panel of experts, including cyber-safety specialist Retired Detective Richard Wistocki (pictured) and parents from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Oxford High School, and Sandy Hook Elementary School. Speakers shared powerful lessons learned and highlighted preventative measures that schools and communities can take to prioritize the safety and well-being of students.

Retired Illinois educators aren’t required to maintain their PEL, though it is recommended. Renewal is free and does not require professional development unless you return to public-school work more than 50%. If you choose to substitute teach, the PEL must be renewed every five years, or a substitute license be obtained.
Note: In your final 5-year license cycle, you are responsible for PD hours for the years you were actively teaching. Don’t throw your PD documentation away!
