A Steele Elementary student identified on the school broadcast as "Mister O" served as "superintendent for a day" during a school segment for Galesburg CUSD 205 on a Friday in April, checking roads, visiting the high school and participating in classroom activities.
The episode, introduced by a staff member identified as Doctor John, began with the student describing his duties: checking roads to decide whether school should continue and touring the high school to meet teachers and students. "When we checked the roads, you decided it was okay to continue school," the host said; the student replied, "Yes."
The segment also included lighthearted interaction with teachers referenced as Mr. Young and Mr. Ewing. At one point Mr. Young asked the student for a million dollars; the student responded "no," which the host praised as the correct answer. The student said he was looking forward to summer and possibly using a pool.
The program opened by noting the student won a contest at Steele Elementary to earn the temporary role. The broadcast ran roughly two minutes and involved two speakers. No formal district actions, votes, policy changes or budget decisions were discussed or taken during the segment.
The appearance emphasizes a student engagement activity within Galesburg CUSD 205; details such as the exact broadcast date in April and the full legal name of the host were not specified in the transcript.
