State Champions
Special Olympics After school got out in June, these special Olympians traveled down to Bloomington for the state track meet. Pictured below are Chris Petrik, John Buffini, and Steve Jurczyk who won the gold. Congrats to our state champion Huskies!
Controversial Issues in the ClassroomTownship High School District 214’s primary mission is to enable all students to learn the skills, acquire the knowledge, and develop the behaviors necessary for them to reach their full potential as citizens who can meet the challenges of a changing society. In a democracy that openly confronts acute and pressing political, social, economic, and moral problems, it is likely that such issues will be evident in classrooms. Discussions about these issues provide students with the type of learning experience that will help prepare them to meet the challenges of a global changing society.

Parking Pass InformationDue to the reconfiguration of the front lot, student parking spaces are at a premium. We were able to grant all seniors a parking pass who applied for one. We will have a number of spots in the basin available to Juniors at the end of 1st quarter. Parking passes for Juniors will be distributed using a lottery format. Please note that it’s imperative for students to display parking passes every day. Students who do not display or possess a parking pass will be subject to disciplinary consequences which may include towing of the vehicle.

ASBESTOS HAZARD EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACT
In accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the Illinois Asbestos Abatement Act (105 ILCS 105/), you are being notified that all District 214 facilities contain various amounts and types of asbestos-‐containing building materials (ACBM). These materials do not pose any hazard to individuals unless the materials are disturbed. The District maintains compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory asbestos rules and regulations. The District also maintains compliance with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) guidelines for operations and maintenance activities. The District routinely performs operations and maintenance activities, required inspections, and surveillance activities to verify that the materials are being managed according to IDPH and CCDPH guidelines. The Building and Grounds Department of each individual facility and the District Operations Department have on file copies of the AHERA Management Plans that describe the locations of all ACBM. These Plans are available for inspection during regular business hours. Contact the Director of Operations for more information at (847) 718-‐7619. PESTICIDE APPLICATION NOTIFICATION REGISTRY All District 214 facilities practice Integrated Pest Management to minimize the use of any pesticides on school grounds. The Structural Pest Control Act (225 ILCS 235/) and the Lawn Care Products Application and Notice Act (415 ILCS 65/) requires public schools to notify parents/guardians and school employees at least 48 hours (two business days) prior to any pesticide applications on school grounds. The term “pesticide” includes insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides and fungicides. The notification requirement extends to both indoor and outdoor pesticide applications. Excluded from the notification requirement are antimicrobials such as disinfectants, sanitizers or deodorizers, insecticide baits and rodenticide baits. Pesticide application notification can be included in newsletters, bulletins, calendars and/or other correspondence currently published by each school and the District. All District 214 facilities have established a registry of individuals who wish to be specifically notified of pesticide applications on school grounds. To be included in this registry, please contact your student’s individual school or program for more information.
