Concerns over unsanitary conditions have emerged in a suburban school district following the dismissal of union janitorial staff. Teachers and parents report overflowing garbage, dirty bathrooms, and a lack of basic supplies. State lawmakers are now demanding an investigation by the Illinois State Board of Education and the Department of Public Health. The district attributes some issues to delays with a new private custodial company. Officials acknowledge the transition has been slower than anticipated.
