'Speak Out' About CL South Bleachers

As far as a lot of people bashing the people standing up for their rights as homeowners that live near these hideous bleachers, you're wrong.

You are not understanding the facts in all this. I have to say when it comes to a school district that governs our children, your responses are sickening. This school got 1.8 million dollars to make the school and teaching and learning for their students better right?

Why spend that money on hideous bleachers they WILL NOT FILL, when the teachers are taking pay cuts and the students are dealing with old, torn, and written on books, and like someone previously posted when the bleachers and upkeep of the ac units at other schools in the district are so bad????

Also the fact that the superintendent was issued THREE stop work orders-  TWO were physically handed to him and they are denying it!!!!!!

How as parents is a person that's supposed to be in charge of our kids' education and future right on any thing???' Were supposed to rely on the school to teach our kids about respect and rules and following the laws right? What in gods name is the superintendent lying to newspapers and reporters teaching any of these kids?

Absolutely nothing except being a liar and deceiving is ok! nice huh?

 As for these bleachers, they're hideous and big and from my experience at crystal lake south high school as a student there, and someone that went to football games occasionally, the size of these things is ridiculous!

 There's nowhere near that many people there and any students that go there are running around and talking and hanging with their friends all over the place in there!

So anyone that says these are needed is wrong. This money could have been spent on the teachers, or new supplies or anything to better the kids education in this school not to use as an excuse to break rules and city laws.

These are the kind of things that teach are kids how to act and how to think when they should be learning about respect! This whole situation is disrespectful period.

I really hope a lot of you check the fact and realize that you're supporting a school district that lied and went AGAINST city building orders and laws and god knows what else...
