About this listen

In this episode of the ROE #17 POD, Regional Superintendent Mark Jontry sits down with Pat Durley, a former Regional Superintendent and current School and District Support Specialist. Pat brings a wealth of experience as a mentor and administrator to a conversation on one of the most critical behind-the-scenes aspects of education: Health-Life Safety (HLS). We demystify what HLS actually means for Illinois schools, from the annual inspections that ensure student well-being to the comprehensive 10-Year HLS Survey. Pat explains the unique building standards schools must meet—which often exceed those of typical businesses—and outlines the ROE’s essential role in overseeing these safety benchmarks. Whether you are an administrator preparing for an inspection or a community member curious about school infrastructure, this episode offers an expert look at how we keep our learning environments safe, sanitary, and fit for occupancy.
