Elgin Area School District U-46 Supt. Tony Sanders on Tuesday was named the next state superintendent of education. Sanders will assume his new duties in late February. 'The U-46 school board is sad to see Superintendent Sanders leave, but knows the children of the state of Illinois will benefit from his leadership at the Illinois State Board of Education,' U-46 school board President Sue Kerr said in a statement. 'We wish him the best in this next chapter of his life.' Sanders was appointed to lead the state's second-largest school district in 2014.
