Put this in the same category as, "What goes up must come down."
District 150 will ALWAYS take the path of MOST resistance. ALWAYS. I'm still studying the new Glen Oak Park School/Disney Land Plan. I will concede up front that it has some REALLY, REALLY, good elements. It is forward thinking, which just might be the primary ingredient Peoria Public Schools require to get out of its current mess, so I'm not going to pooh-pooh it out of hand.
However, the TIMING (on the heels of the Edison vote) and the delivery (total lack of frugality) is awful. It's like the School Board enjoys alienating the public.
But then, I do think the majority of the Board is on drugs. I'm going to study this over the weekend and refrain from further comment until I know more.
Jeeze!

1) The district does need new buildings. 2) More importantly, it needs new direction as to its teaching methods, as the dynamics of the population will not change anytime soon. 3) Ideally, the new Glen Oak building would be on the site that the old Glen Oak building is on. 4) Teaching methods need to be proactive... not reactive, and not even a good reactive at that. 5) I still think you resemble Jennifer Aniston.
Also, am I alone in thinking that the Park District is on even stronger drugs than the Board of Education? Bonnie Noble gives me the heebie-jeebies. It seems like they're on board to LOOK cool, not to DO cool things. The Park Board is the only branch of government that really is NOT a branch of government, but they just keep flailing away. Bleeeeeeeeeech.
which is the "old" Glen Oak building?
Glen Oak Grade School on Wisconsin. I think. It's really big, really old, and cool looking... but it looks like its best days were in, say, 1938.
