Elgin District U-46 Superintendent Dr. Tony Sanders is about to fill a position at the state level that was once held by his father.
The head of the second-largest school district in Illinois is taking on an even bigger role.
"There's only one job I would ever leave U-46 for, and that's the state superintendent if I were lucky enough to get it," Sanders said. "So this is a dream come true." "I hope he will bring the perspective of local school districts to Springfield because sometimes the issues we face aren't heard," U-46 Board President Sue Kerr said.
