Name: Dawn Gersich on Jan 11, 2007Comments: This school will benefit everyone in the community, not just our children. There will be so many people that want their children to attend a school such as this that the park district or school district will have to build another zoo and park next to another school!Flag

Name: Dan Boles on Jan 11, 2007Comments: I agree, the school needs to be moved. This part of peoria has gone by the wayside, to drugs and crime. Its a smells of scum and villainy. The park used to be a great place for "pickin in park", and other family event I knew as a child. It would do well to have a school near by with a police presence.Flag

Name: Sandy Weede on Jan 11, 2007Comments: If Peoria does not want to become the next East St. Louis, I highly encourage the Park Board to allow the building of the new Glen Oak school on the park property. Mr Hinton commented at one of the new school committee meetings that when Valeska Hinton Early Childhood school opened many middle class families tried to enroll their children in the school. If Glen Oak school is built with state of the art amenities, Peoria will once again attract the middle class families. If we are to revitalize Peoria, it's not going to be done at the Riverfront. It starts with a vision that children should be provided the best envrionment to learn. And the current Glen Oak park site is the best envrionment.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 12, 2007Comments: moving the school to the park will increase transportation cost because less kids will live within walking distance. Those who do walk will have to cross busy Prospect Rd. By the way for any pettion to work your full name, address and phone are required for validation.Flag

Name: Robert M. Larson on Jan 12, 2007Comments: 1343 E. Hillcrest Pl. Peoria, IL 61603 This is an opportunity for the Park District and School District to build something great for kids in the East Bluff. All of Peoria will benefit due to the programming, usage, and recognition that will be possible for our city. The current school site even with the additional space offered by the City plan, will still limit the opportunities that the park site offers. I am convinced this is the right thing to do for the children and the right thing to do for a progressive city.Flag

Name: Michael Levine on Jan 22, 2007Comments: I am in support of a school located in the park. However, I did not like the way my neighbors were told of the plan. I feel that all compensation is owed to them for the trauma they were placed under and I pray for a just resolution. I remain a resident of the East Bluff after many of my friends and neighbors have moved-out. I will continue to support single-family, owner-occupied development as a solution for the East Bluff. I speak with a background of experience and commitment to this neighborhood and the community-at-large. I have put both my life and my career on the line to serve honorably and with good reputation. I believe that it is the job of good government to provide for the best dollar-value in the deployment of public funds. Placing the school in Glen Oak Park will show the community that taxing-bodies can work together and provide for the wise use of public monies. This project could bring the best opportunity for the City, the Park District, and the School District to share resources than any of the other proposals. Thus saving tax dollars and providing quality services through the following: Site Safety will be enhanced because now City Police, Park Police, School Police, and State Police will be able to share services giving better coverage within a more concentrated area. The other site will restrict this benefit. The mutual deployment of police agencies has been successful on many different levels. Student safety will be enhanced because the record of emergency calls is higher within the area of the present school that is a site offering less agency coverage. I have observed a constant flow of school buses into the park, at all times of the year, with no incidents of danger. Busing removes children from the larger hazard of walking to school down streets with no sidewalks or through dangerous intersections. The large number of stop signs posted in recent years and the record of accidents should support this observation. In addition, the emergency response to a school bus incident is elevated bringing help much quicker when compared to a pedestrian or street-side injury. Children have traveled to Glen Oak Park for years going to school, after school, during vacations, on weekends, for field trips, most often by foot or bike, during the rush hour, or major events; sometimes supervised, but more often on their own. By pooling police and district resources at the park site child safety will only be enhanced. Otherwise, you will still be left with more children arriving (sometimes walking or in buses), but without the improved safety patrols and the district more vulnerable to raising taxes for security as the new zoo project takes shape. Just because a child may be culturally or socially disadvantage, does not mean they lack intellect or talent. If we would take a moment from our biases and explorer the possibilities that a school in the park setting might bring to the enrichment of a childFlag
