SR0791 is a Senate resolution honoring Dr. Jon Bartelt on his retirement as Superintendent of Schools for Bloomingdale School District 13. The resolution recognizes his 14 years of service in the role, noting his leadership from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2026, and credits him with supporting academic excellence, innovative programs, and a positive learning environment for students.
The resolution also highlights Dr. Bartelt’s influence on staff development and school-community relations, describing his collaborative leadership style and his efforts to strengthen ties between the district, families, and the broader Bloomingdale community. It concludes by expressing the Senate’s appreciation for his contributions and by directing that a suitable copy of the resolution be presented to him as a formal tribute.
SR0791 does not amend state law or create new legal obligations; it is a ceremonial Senate resolution. Its practical effect is to formally commend an individual educator and acknowledge his service to a local public school district, with no direct impact on statutory provisions, state agency authority, or school governance rules.
The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and congratulatory. The bill text is entirely laudatory, and there is no recorded committee debate, vote history, or opposition in the provided materials. It reflects bipartisan-style ceremonial recognition commonly used by the legislature to honor public service and community leadership.
No substantive contention is evident in the bill text or the provided legislative history. Because the resolution is purely honorary, there are no apparent disagreements over policy, funding, or legal effects. The only identifiable focus is praise for Dr. Bartelt’s tenure, leadership, and community engagement.
