By Linda Cook,

9 hours ago

According to a statement from a spokesperson for the Rock Island-Milan School District, the principal of a school was terminated Tuesday at a school board meeting.

The Board of Education approved the superintendent’s recommendation to immediately terminate the contract and to discharge Mario Sherrell from employment “due to his job abandonment and insubordination,” the spokesperson told Our Quad Cities News.

Sherrell was the principal of the Thurgood Marshall Learning Center.

According to the district website, Sherrell was appointed interim principal of Thurgood Marshall Learning Center at the Jan. 27, 2026, Board of Education meeting.

He brought 14 years of educational leadership experience, having served as a superintendent, executive director, principal, and assistant principal. He earned a bachelor of arts in chemistry and a master of science in educational leadership. He had successfully led in alternative-education settings with advanced training in trauma-informed practices.

No other information was available Wednesday.

The Laundry Booster I Add to Almost Every Load

I used to think the only way to get cleaner laundry was to buy a stronger detergent. But over time, I realized that many loads don't actually need more detergent—they just need a little extra help. That's when I started adding a simple homemade laundry booster to heavily soiled loads like towels, bedding, muddy clothes, and kitchen rags.

There Is No Bottom: Max Miller, Jim Jordan, and a Party That Chose Power Over a Child

The Republican Party has never found an allegation it couldn’t rationalize its way past, so long as the man accused of it could still deliver votes. They heard the Access Hollywood tape and put Donald Trump in the White House anyway. Roy Moore, accused by multiple women of pursuing them as teenagers, came within a percentage point of winning a Senate seat in Alabama, of all places, before Doug Jones narrowly stopped him. Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh both sit on the Supreme Court today, lifetime appointments, having cleared confirmation hearings over sworn testimony the party decided it would rather not fully hear.
