Village Board weighs transfer of cable franchise to TCI and beyond
The board debated consent to transfer control of the village cable franchise from Jones Intercable to TCI and then to Comcast as part of a broader shift toward AT&T. Trustee Gregg Spathis cited Feb 18 as a deadline and Tanek’s no show as proof of poor service while Grubermann indicated the sale would proceed under federal law. The amendment preserves no renewal of the franchise and confirms service laws apply, with neighboring University Park approving similar moves to AT&T.

Braun Center Seen Improving For Oak Forest Special Ed Students
The Benjamin Braun Educational Center in Oak Forest serves 40 to 45 special education students daily from fifth through 12th grade. Officials say improvements follow staff stability, reduced student movement, strict discipline, and stronger leadership. The program emphasizes academics with a work component, a later start time, and a goal to return students to least restrictive home districts when possible.
