“In the Dillard household we fight over ‘quiet’ space, especially for online classes,” says Kirk Dillard, chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority Board. On Tuesday, that meant “total silence” at 1 p.m. as his daughter, a student at University of Wisconsin-Madison, took a test. His high school age daughter is also e-learning. They each try to carve out space at the kitchen counter, in the home office or the living room, where Dillard makes conference calls overseeing mass transit issues at CTA, PACE and METRA.
