Flooding and power outages hit the area following July Fourth celebrations, with District 161 also announcing a new superintendent hire as the region recovers. Despite the storm disruptions, Tinley Park's inaugural Country Fest drew good crowds and the broader area is settling back into normal routines with baseball games, concerts, and upcoming events like the Red Sox-White Sox matchup at Rate Field. Tax rate discussions are also underway in Homewood and Flossmoor as municipalities work through new calculation methods.
