Good morning, Elgin.

Former U-46 superintendent José Torres (65) died May 2 in San Juan, Puerto Rico after a brief illness, ending a nearly 40-year career in education.

Elgin Mayor David Kaptain said Torres was a respected leader who built programs for equity in local schools (leaving a lasting impact on the community).

Elgin invites residents to share their views by taking a survey that will guide the Active Mobility Plan to improve sidewalks, bike lanes & accessible pathways.

The survey is available online and as a printed copy at local libraries and The Centre of Elgin.

The Family Service Association of Greater Elgin will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, May 13 at 4:30 p.m. at 1752 Capital St. + The new 2,500-square-foot healing and restoration wing will offer trauma-informed, holistic care for children, adolescents and families.
