As I'm playing catch-up during a very busy midterm election season in County politics, I've fallen behind on a lot of C-U local updates. Here's just a quick rundown of Unit 4 news over the last few weeks:
- School A/C costs and obstacles will keep some students in the heat in the near future: Keeping students cool no easy task for some area districts (article from 2016 with an overview of the A/C issues facing the district prior to the referendum here).
- Crossing Guards were demanded and received at the temporary new home for Dr. Howard Elementary School.
- A safer crossing for South Side Elementary is being demanded after an car hit a child crossing Prospect.
- There's a discussion on whether Dr. Howard will be a two strand or three strand school going forward (referring to the number of class groupings per grade level as this ChambanaMoms article explains with triplets!).
- The Burnham mansion was demolished for Central High School's expansion in a final chapter of a long struggle between preservationists and expanding the neighborhood school.
- State level Invest in Kids Act having mixed results locally, but benefiting Catholic schools in the area.
- Potential for violence partly behind moving Friday Night games to Saturday Mornings: Has violence turned off Friday night lights?
