We, The students and parents of the Stevenson community petition the school to close it's doors on august 18, 2017 due to the recent water contamination through the Lincolnshire water facility. It is not safe or sanitary for students and staff to be in a public building that does not contain clean running water.

I just saw the count hit one hundred and honestly my brain is spinning a bit because I really thought this would just be me yelling into the void for a while. It is honestly wild how fast people are seeing this and reacting to the fact that we have no clean water at school. My coffee is cold and I have a midterm to study for but I cannot stop refreshing the tab just to make sure it is real.

I was just looking at the counter and realized we are moving so fast that I can barely keep up with the emails coming in to my inbox about this stuff. If everyone who sees this just manages to convince a single neighbor to look at the link in the next hour then we might actually hit the thousand mark before the sun goes down tonight.

boy i dont even go to school there anymore but why the HECK are they keeping the school open? they think just handing out bottled water will fix the problem but there are like 4k+ students there and its gonna be in the 80s. i hope they cancel it for you guys cause this is crap!
I feel this is unsafe for others and a big problem. Which should not be taken lightly by stevenson. It stevenson responsibility to make sure of the people's safety, yet in this case they are violating people's belief of being safe with the water.
It's better to miss a day to fix the problem than to have students to miss several days of learning because they got sick from the water. I don't go to this school and I don't live in this city but I care about this school like it was my own.
School needs to be cancelled. This is a very serious situation and students should not have to deal with it. It is absolutely crazy to think that anyone would put students through this. Not having simple accommodations such as using the bathroom is utterly wrong.
The Stevenson community is unreasonable to allows us in an unsafe facitilty. As much as they tell people to not drink from the fountains there are always students that disobey the rules. Therefore putting them in danger.
It's too dangerous
atleast set up porta pottys outside for emergencies

I don't understand how we are supposed to wash our hands or use the bathroom. Is there going to be lunch or will they cook for thousands of kids with bottled water and wash the dishes with bottled water as well. I think not. It's cheaper and easier to keep the school closed tomorrow.
