It's a skateboard, I can't understand why school officials worry about such minor issue, let kids be kids

Good for you for turning what happened to you into trying to do a good thing. You have a right to protect your property and these lockers are a great idea! Good luck!!

I am happy to sign this petition. I would love to see a locker system option offered to our students. We offer them a bike rack to lock up their bikes. Often times their skateboards cost way more money than a bike. It seems as if there is no real system in place to allow the students who skate to school to feel that their property is valued. And it seems like a simple fix to install a locker system for skateboards just as you have for bikes. Why would we not try to foster a physical and creative outlet for our young adults? This is a great idea.

I would like to see more kids on skateboards or bikes or anything that gets them moving and enjoying the outdoors. May you go forward with respect and a good business plan and remember whatever the outcome, God is in control. : )

I am in support of installing a skateboard rack as an inexpensive solution to this problem.

Boards can be used as a weapon? That doesn't make sense to me. Uptight adults have been anti-skater and anti-boards for decades - even as far back as when Josiah's Dad was a kid with a board. This is a respectable way to have your voice heard and I support you, Jo.

Arrested? How can it be regarded as a criminal act to protect your own property? A skateboard is like a bike, it's transportation and should be accommodated as such.

The administration should respect this well thought out approach. This is a great example of how grievances should be brought to the table, discussed, and resolved.

Wow! A school across from a skate park doesn't have a better policy in place?

It's been 30 years since I taught at Wauconda HS, and as a former teacher I hope this petition will be taken seriously.

Growing up my now husband and my brother were both skateboarders and I have a 16 year old son who is also a skater. I am a big supporter of letting kids skate!

Way to take ownership for your mistake but also use your passion to try and affect change! Proud of you, man!

It's unfair that this had to happen. What's the big deal about skateboards. And we thought United Airlines was bad
