NORTHBROOK, IL The community is reeling following news of the death of a local student. In emails to parents from Glenbrook North High School and Northbrook/Glenview School District 30, school officials said Dylan Buckner, 18, of Northbrook, died Thursday. He was the capitan and quarterback of the Glenbrook North High School varsity football team and someone teachers wanted to clone. It was a great pleasure knowing Dylan. It was a great pleasure to have gone into battle with him, to have gotten to languish in the hot summer sun with him, Will Erens, a classmate and fellow football player at GBN, told Patch. But he was more than a teammate. He was simple, but he was strong. He was a great leader. I lost a friend, a teammate, but the world lost a great man.
Who s Included in Phase 1B of Illinois Vaccination Plan?
More than 3 million Illinois residents are expected to be included in Phase 1b of the state s coronavirus vaccine rollout.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced new guidelines for the next phase, including a change in the age requirement for Illinois.
Phase 1b will center on residents age 65 years and older and frontline essential workers, including first responders, education workers like teachers and support staff, childcare workers, grocery store employees, postal service workers, and more.
The age requirement in Illinois is 10 years lower than the recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, in order to reduce COVID-19 mortality and limit community spread in Black and Brown communities, the governor said.
