A program based in Palatine that teaches young students the skills to start a real-life business is in need of about 10 adult mentors beginning next week.
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy, a national program, is offered to 12- to 14-year-olds by the Palatine Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Palatine Township Elementary School District 15.
Palatine s is the only Chamber of Commerce in Illinois that offers the YEA program, said Steven Gaus, executive director of the chamber.
The chamber started offering it in 2013 in conjunction with Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211. It was so successful that a business incubator program was started at the high school, and the chamber then partnered in 2015 with District 15, Gaus said.

Palatine Township District 15 to check students residency more often Laurie Heinz

Palatine Township Elementary School District 15 will be checking the residency of more students starting next year to determine if they live within the district s boundaries.
The district currently doesn t require families to annually verify where they live, which is a fairly atypical practice, according to Superintendent Laurie Heinz, who discussed the policy change during a school board meeting last week.
Most area districts require families to reverify each year, officials said. District 15 only checks families residency when students begin kindergarten or are new to the district. If you register somebody when they re (5 years old), they stick with us all the way through eighth grade, Heinz said.
