Children are once again going back to school and adult work schedules are resuming after vacation time taken. To our business owners and professional community in Niles, I hope that the products you sell and the services you provide were much in demand. I invite you to work with me to create a better environment within which to grow and prosper. To residents, please know that I stand eager and ready to improve our quality of life here in Niles. On Saturday, September 7, this administration will roll out the third Niles Community Block Party at the Human Services/Fitness Center building and at the Village Hall. There will be many activities for children and adults. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about social services and the children can play and have fun. During the event, there will be an open house of the Village Hall’s newly remodeled 2nd floor. I trust you’ll applaud the new design for its practical reinvention of office space and the small impact upon our budget. In October, we’ll have an event to celebrate the Leaning Tower of Niles, which is completing a long and meticulous restoration process. The reinstallation and expansion of the historic Leaning Tower bells will enliven the Tower Plaza, which will be filled with social programs and activities. Also, this year’s Holly Jolly Christmas Tree lighting event will be bigger and better than ever at Civic Center Plaza on November 30. Please, in the interest of building the community of Niles, do try to attend. Thank you, and know that I’m always available to you in a time of need. Right: Leaning Tower of Niles on Touhy Avenue.

    MEETING: BOE Regular Meeting 7/13/2021 7:30 PM Comments are listed in the order submitted via the electronic form. -------------------------------------------- Subject Matter: Safety and Security Recommendations When I went to high school, there was not Police officer on duty at school, but then we heard about Flint Michigan in 2000. From then on, there have been school shootings yearly. Certainly not having a dedicated SRO will embolden assailants and increase these events. Drugs are another problem in high school and a police officer certainly helps deter some of this. Lastly violence between students is subdued thanks to the SRO. Removal of the SRO is nothing more than a political move that some individuals are trying to push through our school board. If any one officer shows any signs of improper conduct he should be replaced, however it cannot be assumed that all officers are out to get the minority kids. The officer is there to help our kids. I don't want people on the board with no kids in the school making bad choices for us to elevate themselves politically. Allison beerger Subject Matter: D219 bo e To the board of education at Niles North High School, I am the current parent of a Niles North High School student . I hope that you will consider appointing Dr Paul Cantz or Alan Levy for the current open board positions. I believe they will be fair and free of political biases which we need in our school. Thank you for considering their appointment. Furthermore , thank you for changing the date of graduation from the Jewish Sabbath as my child and we observe the sabbath on Saturday.
