District 124 has officially confirmed the removal of student segregation policies and restored full parental choice regarding medical decisions. We have transitioned into an oversight phase to ensure these new protocols remain consistent across all school facilities. This outcome confirms that our focus on policy adjustment successfully compelled the administration …

We, the parents and taxpayers of Evergreen Park, DEMAND:

-A SUPPORTIVE educational COMMUNITY based on up to date/current/evidence u Education, not fear based. Teach the kids coping mechanisms, including with social and emotional essentials, to assist in dealing with this pandemic and give them the mental tools necessary to see light and hope at this time. Navigate away from acting as if the children’s actions are causing or controlling this virus.

-A COMMUNITY- based education, not an isolated one. A. We have chosen to raise our children, with all different backgrounds to love and accept each other no matter what our different beliefs or faiths are, in which all members are part of one community. We need to come together as one community, to show unity and acceptance for the kids to grasp and accept this concept.

-Parental Choice; We support parental choice for Covid-19 vaccines for children in School District 124. Parents are in charge of medical decisions. The school guides education and after school activities only.

-Unvaccinated children and vaccinated children should be treated the same. No segregation among children based on vaccine status AT ANY TIME.

-No further quarantining of healthy children based on vaccine status or proximity to other students.

-We support parental choice for masks in school and school related activities. We want parents to choose whether their children need, or want, to wear a mask.

-After nearly two years, it is time to Establish a “Parental Covid Advisory Board” for open dialogue between the parents of the children affected by the rules imposed and the Covid Task force currently determining protocols for the state of Illinois.

-We feel we have extended grace and understanding on the pandemic guidelines for 22 months now. It is time for District 124 to navigate away from these failing protocols regarding health, and focus entirely on the academic, social, and emotional development of the students. We have waited long enough, and we are no longer willing to accept the constant and continuous focus on the virus. We want to move forward. We want happy children, and we want our kids to live joyfully and fearlessly.

I have requested a formal meeting with the District 124 board members to present our demands regarding medical autonomy and school policy. Legal counsel is currently reviewing the district policy manual to identify specific sections that conflict with our position on parental choice.

My 4/yo son was crying in the store the other day because his mask slipped below his nose and he thought someone would see and yell at him. I’m done with this garbage. No more shaming our kids! EP needs to make the right choices and get rid of the masks. No passports either. I’m sick of having to provide my “papers” to do anything

My kids went to school today with no mask and will continue to do so. Since the school cannot deny them an education they have been put in an isolation room separate from their classmates doing elearning but they are currently at school unmasked! We will continue to fight for them to be unisolated.

It's time to let common sense and data guide our decision-making, not divisive political rhetoric from the governor. They've been wearing masks for almost two years and we've still had like five different waves. It isn't working. Sorry.

“Follow the Science” numerous peer reviewed studies have shown that keeping children in masks caused irreparable harms over the last two years when compared to the insignificant benefit from cloth face masks. It’s been 2 years since students have seen the faces of their teachers and classmates. It’s child abuse at this point. You now have permission to make masks optional by the unambiguous and direct legal decision recently handed down. The only conclusion we as a community can come to if you continue the mask wearing at this point is that you choose to. Follow the lead of numerous other school districts in illinois and many States that have lifted restriction with absolutely no adverse effects

Kids and Teachers communicate better when they can enunciate, read facial expressions, and be heard clearly without a cover over their face. It’s not safe for kids to exercise with their mouths and noses covered.

I think it is time to start looking at the mental health statistics of these mandates and compare them to the actual COVID 19 related deaths of pediatric patients. Having the right to choose is what this society is based upon. Let each parent make the best decision for their child. Whether it’s wearing a mask or not.

Unmask the kids. Stop acting against the science. I hope everyone that made these children suffer for so long gets sued. Free the kids
