Two-fer!

Item #1

A commenter on yesterday's post tried to spread the word about upcoming presentations on "The State of the District" by School Superintendent, Sally Pryor. We found a link to a news item that lists several dates and times. We laughed when we saw who the first presentation is being given to.

In any case, we agree with the commenter that if you have a chance to attend, this may be where you get answers to questions that have been raised about doings in the district. We also agree with a following comment, that these presentation times suck if you have a day job.

A series of presentations by Superintendent Dr. Sally Pryor is planned for next Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 14-15.

~~On noon on Wednesday in the district's offices in the Hendee Educational Service Center, Pryor will give a brief presentation to realtors in the community.

~~At 9 a.m. on Thursday, she will make a similar presentation to a group of community leaders, also at the Hendee Center.

~~At noon Thursday, she will provide the same information to the public in the Park Ridge Public Library's first floor meeting room.

Informal question-answer sessions will follow each presentation.

Item #2

A couple weeks ago we gave District 64 An 'A' for Effort in making a good attempt to inform the school community about a public health threat; MRSA. In that post we offered a kick in the ass to the City and the Community Health Commission because they hadn't made use of their website to also help inform the public about MRSA.

We are pleased to now also give the City and the Public Health Dept. a pat on the back for making the effort to provide the community of Park Ridge with public health information. The City of Park Ridge, Illinois has posted on its website a link to information about MRSA.
