6

The longest- serving board member in Stevenson High School District 125 history has resigned, officials announced Thursday. Merv Roberts had been on the Lincolnshire- based board for 37 of its 53 years. He resigned because his declining eyesight affected his ability to be a trustee. Roberts’ resignation was delivered via email Thursday and was effective immediately. — Russell Lissau
