Ahead of Veterans Day, the newest episode of The ROE Link spotlights two Kane County organizations that support veterans and their families year-round.

Regional Superintendent John K. Jonak, a veteran himself, talks with James Reeves, Commander of Batavia VFW Post 1197, and Jacob Zimmerman, Superintendent of the Veterans Assistance Commission of Kane County, about some of the resources available through their organizations, including the University of Illinois Children of Veterans Tuition Waiver and an annual veterans resource fair held at the Batavia VFW.

When a veteran’s family has the support it needs, their children can focus on learning. Connecting schools, families, and the community with partners like these is part of the ROE’s mission to lead, assist, and inspire.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week in East Aurora School District 131 for part 2 of Professional Learning Supervisor Jordan Eggleson's Hacking School Discipline workshop!

Participants continued their journey through the book by Nathan Maynard and Brad Weinstein, exploring Hacks 5–9 and how to put them into practice in today’s classrooms. The session focused on:
- Restorative practices
- Student accountability
- Systems that build trust, responsibility, and long-term behavior change

Educators left with actionable strategies to reduce repeat discipline issues while strengthening relationships and building a positive, student-centered school culture.

November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month. Throughout the month, we will be highlighting the rights and resources available to students who are experiencing homelessness.

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a federal law that protects the educational rights of children and youth experiencing homelessness. That includes students who are:
- Temporarily staying with friends or relatives due to loss of housing or economic hardship
- Living in emergency shelters, motels, or hotels
- Staying in other unstable or inadequate housing situations

Eligible students have important rights, including:
- Immediate school enrollment
- The opportunity to remain in their school of origin when it’s in their best interest
- Transportation support when needed
- Free school meals & fee waivers

Every school district has a McKinney-Vento liaison who can help families understand their rights and access support.
