About two weekends ago, local school superintendents prepared 3,200 packets of food at the Midwest Food Bank
in Peoria.
The group of 17 volunteers was from the Central Illinois
Valley region of the Illinois Association of School Administrators, an advocacy
organization for superintendents and other school administrators. The region
covers Peoria, Mason, Tazewell and Woodford counties.
Patrick Martin, superintendent of District 50 in Washington, helped organize the region's first service day project after hearing a presentation at a Rotary Club meeting about the food bank. "Most superintendents are active in their own communities. We decided to do something on a larger scale as a group," he said.
It was the second time in a month that Roger Alvey,
superintendent of Elmwood District 322, worked as a volunteer at the food bank.
"Working there makes you realize you take a lot of things for granted, and
how difficult life is for many families," he said.
The food bank is a not-for-profit, nondenominational
organization that gathers food donations from national corporations and
distributes them at no charge to social service organizations and at disaster
sites.
Volunteers such as the school superintendents repackage
donated food for distribution to food pantries and into disaster relief boxes.Source

Good cause, which will most definitely benefit the students and families in District 150.
Was a name omitted from the list?
Were 2 names omitted from the list? Two superintendents from the largest districts in Peoria County?
Congrats Sharon on your award from the ACLU!
Be available. Baaaahahahahahahahaha. The lady hides behind a keypad-secured door all day and throws a fit if anyone gets through that door without her permission. What a damn FRAUD.
Lathan in video, she wants to "connect with the community." What a crock.
I agree, congratulations, Ms. Crews for your ACLU recognition. At the next board meeting when they call you to the mic to speak, Butler will say "Leading activist in Peoria, Sharon Crews." Great job, Sharon!
Think of all the new opportunities she missed at making fun of people.
Renee Charles was putting words in GL's mouth. I think Renee needs help on how to interview people.
What a joke...she should have answered, someone I can bully, someone I can demean, someone that is willing to put in the hours to be fired later.
That interview is tripe.
She is never available, wants only butt kissers. She wants someone "invested" in the community. How many of the people she has imported actually purchased a home in PEORIA. Does anyone have information on that? Renting is not an "investment" in the community.
I would like to see Michelle Ungraits deposition published in the Peoria Journal Star in its entirety. The community needs to see what kind of person Grenita is and what kind of people Wolfmeyer and Butler are also. I'd be willing to donate money to have it printed.
Did the link to the transcripts even make it into the paper?
The PJ Star is too busy covering up for Lathan to print the link.
I think we have enough info to recall Wofmeyer and Butler because Michelle said the district lawyer arranged and was at the meeting. This is the lawyer Grenita replaced with the out of town team that has been defending her bullying.
Check out the prccedures in recalling a board member:

Who can help us that are in schools do this?
Tim Delinski owns a house in Pekin
Grenita owns a house in Peoria
Revonda rents a house in Peoria
LaToy rents an apartment in Peoria and owns a house in Greensboro
Unguraits rented in the Uplands
Shameika rents a house in Dunlap
Geri owns a house in Greensboro
Don't know about Renee but she does have children, not sure if they are in PSD150
Hoffer bought a house in Washington
Ursula rents in Peoria
Wow! All those taxpayer dollars paid to Peoria Public School Administrators and only ONE from this list pays property taxes. Unbelievable. Way to go Chamber of Commerce!
Thank you anonymous for the link to the procedure to recall a board member. All of us in this blog must start seriously weighting this possibility of getting rid of those inefficient BOE members that have been sponsoring Granita’s arbitrariness. If we succeed at it, then we can postulate and elect members truly interested in bettering the education in Peoria. Please, let’s focus on this.

editorial, written by the JS editor:

They would like to have GL now held accountable also. BOE members you seem to be quite a small minority who just lets her make poor decisions, then stands behind her.
Finally.....
Bravo, PJStar!! It took awhile but many of us are grateful.
Google The Trust Molecule in the Wall Street Journal. Explains why some people are cruel- only way to understand Grenita bc the rest doesn't make sense.
If you were an administrator in District 150, would you buy a house here with Lathan in charge? Heck no, rent all the way.
Also... renters pay property taxes too, albeit indirectly through their rent.
