About three- quarters of Diamond Lake students with limited English skills surpassed state expectations in reading and math last year, state report card data show. Smaller class capped at 16 for limited-English children get the necessary attention, Prosise said.

Pictures and hands-on lessons help connect concepts to words. When students struggle, teachers use the native language, which tends to be Spanish in the district. Illinois Rep. Kathy Ryg (D- Vernon Hills) said she hopes to raise the Diamond Lake situation within the larger, ongoing debate about how bilingual students are taught and tested in Illinois. She plans to bring the matter before state lawmakers involved in the education caucus.

timing is very good to have this dialogue and decide where we want to Ryg said. The Lake County Federation of Teachers contacted lawmakers this spring to request leeway so programs with proven results could continue rather than risk losing funds, said president Michael McGue. Illinois requires that students learn the academic basics in their native language as they make the transition to English. The mandate applies to any school where at least 20 students share a native language other than English. State officials determined the Diamond Lake did not comply during a routine audit of the bilingual program last spring, and as a result, refused to release the funding.

Will County Circuit Judge Richard Schoenstedt decided Thursday not to return a pickup truck and 24 guns to Stebic after meeting privately with authorities.

Police seized his weapons as possible evidence last spring during the investigation of Lisa disappearance. The judge allowed Stebic, 42, to pick up his 2004 Saturn Ion earlier this month, once prosecutors agreed to give up the car. But a blanket was missing from the car, which was mainly driven by Lisa Stebic, Lenard said in court. Lenard said authorities are investigating Stebic rather than searching for a missing person.

Stebic fails in attempt to regain firearms By Michael Higgins TRIBUNE REPORTER For more than two years, the state auditor has been locked in a dispute with the Illinois Supreme Court, but there seems to be no way to resolve the case of the $40 breakfast.

On Thursday, state Auditor William office once again flagged the highest court for treating hundreds of state judges to what it calls meals at educational conferences in Chicago. At a conference the Supreme Court hosted at the Hyatt Regency in March 2006, for example, the average breakfast cost $39.90 and the average lunch was $48.43. But Supreme Court officials say getting the best bargain they can from the type of facility they need. got to pay the hotel Joseph Tybor, the Supreme spokesman, said Thursday. really have a Tybor said court officials take competitive bids to find the best overall package of lodging, meeting rooms and equipment for events with as many as 450 judges.

But hotels include food in the package and court officials simply announce, the way, going to cater in from the sandwich shop down the or going to order out from for Tybor said. The court hosted a similar taxpayer-funded educational conference in February 2006 at the Hyatt Regency with similar meal prices, according to the audit. There also was a five-day conference for new judges in January 2007 at the Holiday Inn City Centre, where breakfasts averaged $26.92 and lunches $30.47. The meals themselves are not extravagant, Tybor said. a buffet-type he said.

The audit said court officials should look to judicial travel guidelines, which put an $8limit on reimbursement for breakfasts and lunches in Chicago. payment of conference meal costs of up to five times greater than the maximum meal costs permitted in the travel guidelines is said the audit, which covered July 2005 to June 2007. Supreme Court officials, in a response that was published along with the audit, say those guidelines are for individual travel and apply to conferences.

As one part of the larger package, costs although expensive, are not unreasonably court officials wrote. As for the findings, respectfully The result seems to be a stalemate.
