There's a lot of good information in the District 150 Newsletter "Remarkable Times". Finally, the fully staffed PR Department is being put to work doing the things they should be doing. The visibility of the Superintendent, along with Stacey Shangraw being available to make a statement whenever the District is in the news, goes a long way towards the District looking like they are on top of things.

Peoria High needs your vote! Students and teachers from around the country submitted amazing stories about their schools and how a new computer lab could make a big difference. Now it's time to choose who will win The School Pride Web Competition brought to you by Windows 7. Last week, a panel of judges picked the top five finalists for the competition and Peoria High was announced as one of those finalists. You can go online to vote and support Peoria High, with the submission "Empty Computer Lab." Voting ends on November 29th and you can submit one vote, daily. Source

perhaps if D150 could find all of the compters that sprouted legs and walked out of roy ricketts Peoria High would not have to rely on a competition to fulfill their technology needs. Whatever happened with all the allegations of impropriety over there?
Well, unfortunately they are relying on a competition. Did you vote for them? Vote everyday.
I voted. did you get the Michelle Alexander info yet?
I have voted 3 times.
Someone should go to Peoria High and make sure there is an empty computer lab......just a thought........
What's going on with the teacher @PHS that Terry is writing letters and delivering them to Wisc ave? Is he doing this because it's what's good for the students and district? Or is it about tenure? C'mon fess up.
I am taking a wild guess that this particular Anonymous is someone who received a letter. Anyway Terry will be happy to explain it all to you--call him at 370-5523 (number given with Terry's permission). Terry doesn't blog. My two cents is that a system that is unfair to teachers will be unfair to students, also. It's all about doing what is right and in the right way.
By the way, Terry didn't write any letters, but he did take them to Wisconsin Avenue
