Under legislation passed by the Illinois General Assembly a few years ago, LTHS was permitted to withdraw from the TTO after the lawsuit was resolved. The TTO invests money and handles basic financial matters for all school districts in Lyons Township. "We want to assure you that the safety and security of our students and staff is top priority," said School Board President Marge Hubacek.While Esrig ruled that the TTO could debit $764,789.33 from LTHS’ account for underpayment of its assessments from the TTO since 2014, he rejected the TTO’s major claim that LTHS owed it approximately $6 million for underpayments from 2000 through 2012. Lyons maintains it conducted a background check which turned up no red flags. The 40-year-old English teacher, who is free on bond while awaiting trial, was hired to work at Washington Middle School last August despite having been let go from districts in Joliet and Cicero after administrators there learned he'd been arrested. "As an elected official, as the mayor of this community and as a father, I'm outraged by the failure of this school district," said Mayor Christopher Getty. "They failed to do their jobs and protect our community, especially our kids, our children," said Jorge Torres, school board member. Tonight, elected officials called for the resignation of the district's two interim superintendents.
