Former school nurse in Arlington Heights accused of mishandling students’ medications

Eitz was taken into custody on Friday before being processed and released. She is set to make a court appearance on Monday, Aug. 19.

Gina DeBoni, a Managing and Senior Partner at Romanucci & Blandin, which represents nine District 25 families, said the charges against Eitz were a “step toward accountability” but called for a greater focus on the actions of district officials.

“This is one meaningful step in justice, but Tory Eitz’s actions did not exist in a vacuum. We need to turn the spotlight now to Arlington Heights District 25 and its administrators and school officials for their willful and reckless conduct and their failure to take accountability."
