Suffering from health problems and awaiting trial on federal fraud charges, Lawrence Wyllie, former superintendent of Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, has apparently taken a turn for the worse.
Lawrence Wyllie arrives for his arraignment on federal fraud charges at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago Sept. 27, 2017.
The most recent update, filed Wednesday, says that due to his health issues Wyllie “cannot meaningfully participate in his own defense at this time.”A status hearing in the case scheduled for Friday was scratched and a new hearing set for April 13, according to a filing Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Elaine Bucklo. She instructed attorneys in the case to file an updated status report by April 6.
The attorneys, in the report filed Wednesday, said they are “not yet in a position to determine how this case will ultimately proceed,” and asked the judge to reschedule. At that point, according to the lawyers, they “hope to be better positioned” to lay out the next steps in the case.
The district’s problems did not become apparent to the public until 2015, when Lincoln-Way landed on the state’s financial watch list and the school board voted to close Lincoln-Way North High School in Frankfort to cut expenses. The district remained on the watch list until March 2019.
