Mid-Valley Special Education Cooperative serves students whom school districts can’t

ST. CHARLES – Tamara Srdanovich received frustrating news in December from her son’s teacher at Corron Elementary School in South Elgin: the St. Charles School District 303 educator didn’t know how to teach the boy, who has Asperger’s syndrome and anxiety.

Within weeks, Srdanovich toured the Mades-Johnstone Center in St. Charles and found the right school for Benjamin.

“I was so happy when I met [his teacher] Meg Bingham,” Srdanovich said. “I knew right away she got it.”

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
