D97 could get drawn into OPRFHS lawsuit

You have to admire the OPRF District 200 in a Mafia sort of way. They run their finances like the Sopranos. They have the attitude if you mess with their money they will rip out your fiduciary entrai…

Tell me about Whittier School

Holy Insalata Caprese! If I was moving into the area, I'd find that offer difficult to refuse.

Tell me about Whittier School

Besides a very active PTO, the school has a lot of teachers who are willing to work after school. Mann has the only consistent Odyssey of the Mind program in the district. Teachers instruct Club Inve…

The school day for the District is 8 AM to 11AM tomorrow. Email the the Whittier principal Carol Young at cyoung@op97.org, and the the two teachers, that I know of in early childhood bwalsch@op97.org, lkowalchik@op97.org. They may have a smartphone…

OK - Crazy question. My son is supposed to go to Whittier's Early Childhood program. He is in the afternoon class, I never got a letter from the school, I had to call them to find out. Tomorrow is the first day of school, but it's a half day. I have…

I honestly don't get the crossing guard thing. When I was in elementary school we actually had students acting as crossing guards near the school. If I recall, I worked for free and I all I got was a trip to Six Flags at the end of the year for bein…

Byron Lanning replied to Byron Lanning's discussion 'The D97 Anti-Discommunication Dialogue' in the group Schooling Oak Park
The District only offers one way to ask questions or comment in public: attend a school board meeting and address the board. By the attendance at school board meetings, not many Oak Parkers have the time or inclination for this endeavor. We’re in t…

Byron Lanning replied to Byron Lanning's discussion 'Hot Dogs for School Cash' in the group Schooling Oak Park
Tasty Dog offers a few healthier options. You can order a vegetable sandwich, a turkey burger, fruit cups, salads. You don’t have to eat double cheese chili dog or gravy bread. In addition, it’s a unique place, probably the only village-owned $950,…

The Village may outsource the crossing guards, according to the Wednesday Journal and could save the taxpayers $141,000. The River Forest schools have the same problem with funding their crossing guards. If these Districts collaborated, they’d figur…

I don't see anything wrong with it. I eat healthy but I indulge in a hot dog or ice cream for fun once in a while. As long as you aren't doing it daily I don't think it will hurt you. What's childhood without an occasional hot dog? Besides, the Tast…
