From the Principal
Dear Prospect Families, Welcome students, parents, and guardians of the class of 2020! I am confident that you will find Prospect High School to be an excellent learning environment over the next four years. I look forward to the opening of the new school year, as it always brings new excitement and activity. We look forward to an early Homecoming week that will provide a variety of options for student involvement. Encouraging your son or daughter to try a new club, sport, or activity is one way of helping him or her to have a positive high school experience as well as a stronger academic record. It has been a busy summer here at Prospect with athletic camps, summer school, and pool construction. I hope that you are enjoying summer and that you have the opportunity to share some family time with your sons and daughters. As children become older and more involved in activities or part-‐time work, it becomes more difficult to find family time. Summer might be a good time to build up these relationships as your sons and daughters are not feeling the stresses and pressures that may be present during the school year. These relationships, too, are important in school success. Throughout the summer months, Prospect faculty members are pursuing professional growth by taking graduate level university courses, participating in workshops here at Prospect, or attending conferences. Most teachers spend a great portion of the summer strengthening their own skills and developing or refining curricula. I am proud to say that Prospect teachers are very dedicated, professional educators who devote much energy and time into improving the education that is provided to the students of our community. Over the next several months, I look forward to hearing your voices and ideas. It is important for all of us to be partners in the education of your student. A great opportunity to become involved is at our annual Teacher-Parent Council Open House. It will be held on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 7:00 pm. You will have an opportunity to meet your child’s teachers, learn about your child’s classes, and visit with Student Services staff and school administrators. Please mark your calendar so that you do not miss our Open House! The beginning of a new school year is a good time to talk with your sons and daughters about their expectations and hopes for this year. Help them to establish high but reasonable goals, and encourage them to talk with you regularly about their progress. Having a discussion of this nature will help you become more involved in your student’s academic progress and activities. I have great expectations for a terrific 2016-‐2017 school year. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming activities, and I thank you for being caring, committed, and responsive! With PRIDE and RESPECT, Michelle Dowling Principal Prospect Parent

From Student Services:
Guidelines For Dropping A Course
A student must have the approval of his/her parent or guardian to drop a course and must process the
request for withdrawal with his/her counselor. Once a semester begins, the following rules apply:
1. If a student drops a course on or before the 15th day (not including holidays, institute, and non
attendance days), no record of the course appears on the student’s transcript.
2. Students who drop a course between the 16th and 30th school days (not including holidays, institute,
and non-attendance days) will have the course title and a grade of “W” (withdrawn) recorded on
their transcript. (Note: “W” grades are not included in computing grade point average and do not
affect honor roll eligibility.)
3. Students who drop a course on or after 31 school days (not including holidays, institute, and nonattendance days) a grade of “WF” (withdrawn failing) is recorded on the student’s transcript.
4. If the administration, any time after the end of the 31st school day (not including holidays, institute,
and non-attendance days), drops a student from a course, the course title and a grade of “F” (failing)
are recorded on the student’s transcript.
5. “WF” and “F” grades are included in computing grade point averages and negatively impact honor
roll eligibility.

Chronic Health Conditions in School
School achievement is dependent upon effectively meeting the health needs of all the students enrolled in
District 214 schools. If your student has a chronic health condition such as asthma, allergies, diabetes, or
seizures, it is important for the school, doctor, and family to work together to provide the best educational
experience possible.
In an effort to provide your student an opportunity for a successful school year, a number of health care plans
are available on the www.d214.org website. The care plan is designed to help the school collaborate with the
student’s family and medical doctor to insure student needs are met.
Care plans can be found under District Departments, Health Services, and then Health Forms. Once you have
printed the Care Plan, please review it with your doctor and return it to your school’s Health Office prior to the
beginning of each school year.
If your student requires medication or an inhaler during the school day, these forms are also available on the
www.d214.org website. Please complete the forms with your doctor and return to the Prospect Health Office.
If you do choose to send medication for your student, it should always be sent in the original container and
labeled with your student’s name.
The school nurse is available to meet with you and your student to discuss the care plan or any concerns you
may have regarding your student’s health needs at school. If you would like to schedule a meeting, please
contact Prospect’s school nurse:
Cheryl Novak, R.N.
Phone: (847) 718-5319 or
Email:
[email protected]

Telecommunications Device for the Deaf

number is (847) 718-5208 and will be answered in the Attendance Office. Please do not call this number unless
you are using a TDD. Students may use the TDD during the school day by contacting a Dean.
Vision and Hearing Screenings
All special education students are screened annually for vision and hearing. Parents are notified of screening
results only if there is a possible problem for which further assessment is recommended. If you have questions
regarding this service, please contact Cheryl Novak, School Nurse (847) 718-5319.
Speech/Language Services
Speech/Language services are available at Prospect High School. Articulation, voice, language, and
conversational skills can be addressed. Hearing evaluations are available with parent permission. Parent,
teacher, and student self-referrals are accepted for speech/language screening with a signed parent consent form.

Important Information for Parents and Students...
Final Examinations (January 18, 19, 20 and June 7, 8, 9)
Final examinations take place in each class at the end of the semester. These assessments generally
comprise between 10% and 20% of the final grade. Students must take the final exam on their assigned
date. In rare circumstances of emergency, requests for a change in final exam schedule must be made by
parents to and approved by Scott McDermott, Associate Principal.
Extended Absences or Vacation Requests
Prospect High School and District 214 adhere to the ISBE School Code on absences. In the rare
circumstance that an extended absence or vacation must occur during the school year, requests must be
made well in advance by parents via phone to and approved by Scott McDermott, Associate Principal,
847/718-5214.
District 214 iPad Program
District 214 has provided each student with an iPad. This tool allows students to access resources 24/7
and extend the learning beyond the walls of the classroom. Please remember that Prospect and District
214 manage student iPads. By default, restrictions are disabled, and will be enabled on a case-by-case
basis by school personnel. In order for students to participate fully and seamlessly in classroom activities
and their instructional program and avoid lost classroom data, parents and students are not allowed to
imependently enable restrictions on the student’s iPad. Rather, concerns or questions related to your
student’s iPad, should be directed to Matt Hamilton, 847/718-5267.
Sex Education
In accordance with the School Code of Illinois, we are required to advise parents regarding the teaching
of sex education. During the school year, various units in the following courses will deal with sex
education: Human Growth and Child Development, Parenting, Sociology I and II, Biology, Sociology
of Marriage and Family, and Health Education. Senior boys are instructed in self-testicular exam, and
senior girls are instructed in self-breast exam during physical education classes. You may review the
materials at any time by contacting the appropriate division head. Concerns or questions following your
review should be addressed to Scott McDermott, Associate Principal. If you desire to have your child
excluded during the teaching of certain topics dealing with sex education, appropriate arrangements can
be made.
Controversial Issues in the Classroom
Township 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.
District 214 provides its parents/guardians an opportunity to grant or refuse permission for their son or
daughter to participate in a class activity or to request an alternative assignment when study materials
are deemed controversial. Parents/guardians with concerns regarding controversial issues, materials,
and curricula should contact the school’s principal/designee. The administration has established
guidelines, procedures, and safeguards for an unbiased, impartial handling of controversial issues in the
classroom.

Department Meal Program Information and FAQ 2016-17
All families desiring free or reduced price meal benefits must have a completed, current, approved application on
file for the 2016-2017 school year. If your child was receiving benefits last school year, you must reapply for the
2016-2017 school year.
If you are currently receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), or TANF, and/or have a Foster
child, you may have already received a Direct Certification letter in the mail from us stating your child is eligible
for free meal benefits based on SNAP, TANF, or Foster child benefits. If you have received one of these letters,
you do not need to fill out this application as well.
If you would like to apply for Free or Reduced price meal benefits, please visit the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to
apply online. The form is located under the Applications/Forms Tab. Any families new to District 214, should have
received information regarding the activation of their Parent Portal account. For any parent needing assistance in
setting up an account for the portal, contact the help desk via phone or email at (847) 718-7676 or [email protected].
• In our effort to go paperless, Please apply for meals online through the Parent Portal. (Note: parents must set up
an E-signature to submit - Applications E-signed by students will not be accepted).
A printable application (English and Spanish) is also available on our website: Application for School Meals.
Application for School Meals Eligibility for meal benefits will be determined within 10 days of receipt of
application in our office. A letter will sent by mail to your home notifying you of your child's (children's) eligibility
status.

Special Milk/Meals Program application must be submitted annually.
• Meals are served every school day. For the 2016-17 school year, breakfast is available at all schools for $2.00 and

We look forward to providing meals for your child in our cafeterias. Our staff is committed to serving students
nutritious meals, while maintaining variety to keep students satisfied.The Food and Nutrition Services Department
has a computerized debit system that allows parents to prepay for school food services. This computerization
provides many benefits for students and parents in utilizing the cafeteria services. Please review the following
information to assist you in answering questions should they arise.
•
In our continuing effort to provide parents with the absolute best service, we have upgraded MySchoolBucks.com.
This online payment service provides a quick and easy way to add money to your student’s meal account using a
credit/debit card or electronic check. You can also view recent purchases, check balances, and set-up low balance
alerts for FREE!
•
How does the prepaid system work?
The computerized system uses the student I.D. card to allow students and parents to establish a prepaid account.
The account may be used for breakfast, lunch and a la carte service. At the end of the cafeteria line, after the student
has selected his/her meal choices, he/she will need to present the student identification card to the cashier.
How is the prepaid account established?
There are several ways to establish a prepaid account for your students:
By check or cash – NEW for 2016.17: Pay by electronic check on MySchoolBucks.com or, to establish a prepaid account
for your student by check or cash, a form is included below. Additional forms may be picked up in the school
cafeteria or can be printed from the food service department website, www.d214.org under District Departments,
Food and Nutrition Service Tab. Complete the form and send it with cash or a check payable to your student's
school cafeteria. Hand in to any food service cashier.
By credit card – To set up an online account at MySchoolBucks.com, go to https://www.myschoolbucks.com and
click on “register for an account”. Follow the instructions given to set up your student’s account. A convenience
fee of $1.95 will be added to your credit card for each deposit made per site. If you have more than one student in
the same school, you will be charged only one fee of $1.95 if funds are deposited into each of your students’
accounts during the same transaction session. For assistance in setting up or using an account, contact the
myschoolbucks.com support team at 1-855-832-5226.

24 hours.

Students with a zero balance must pay cash for their meals until their account is re-established. Students may ask
for the status of their account balance from a cashier any time a transaction is made in the cafeteria. If you are using
the online system, you will be notified by e-mail when your student’s account is low.

Regardless of the method of payment, refunds of unused funds will be made by district check to parents only,
upon written request. Cash refunds will not be made to students. Unused funds will carry over to the next school
year for returning students. Parents can also request in writing to have unused balances transferred to another
District 214 sibling. Please send an email to [email protected] to request a refund.

National Honor Society Selection Process
The selection process for the National Honor Society is based upon four criteria – scholarship, character, service, and
leadership. These criteria are determined by the founding organization of National Honor Society and
are stated in the constitution that each chapter is required to adopt. Each chapter’s faculty committee is
allowed to determine how each of these criteria will be met in order to attain membership. Prospect High
School has established the following requirements for initial eligibility; a student must have at least a 4.8
GPA and be a junior or senior. Subsequently, the GPA is not a factor in the final phases of the selection
process.
At Prospect, service has been defined as service shown through participation in school and community
activities. These eligible students will accumulate a minimum of 10 service hours as well as complete a
personal leadership essay. Students must meet the deadline (end of 1st semester) for returning their completed forms in
order to remain eligible for membership. Finally, all faculty will review a list of eligible students to assess their character.
Individual concerns will be directed to Prospect’s faculty committee.
This entire process takes place at Prospect High School during first semester culminating with the induction ceremony in
March. In mid-September, a letter is sent to all eligible junior/senior students who meet the minimum GPA requirement.
Students are then asked to attend a mandatory meeting at which time the entire selection process is explained and forms
distributed.
For additional information, please contact Dr. Lynn Thornton (847-718-5286) or [email protected]

FRENCH
ERYK SOLTYS
For the past four years, Eryk has
worked hard to achieve a level of
excellence in the French language that
can only be described as remarkable.
A natural communicator and fluent
in three languages, his command of
French is excellent in both the written
and spoken forms.
Additionally, Eryk’s passion for the
French language and culture, as well
as his sophisticated understanding of
global issues, provide an impressive
role model for the rest of the class.
This passion for French led Eryk to
compete in the National French Exam
in spring 2016, where he earned a
22nd place ranking nationwide. This
past spring, Eryk was also a natural
candidate for the Prospect French
Exchange to Sèvres, France, where he
served as a wonderful representative
of our school.
Eryk’s work ethic is exemplary, as
is his ability to positively influence
his peers during our French class
activities. Indeed, he shares his talent
and enthusiasm for French in a way
that truly inspires those around him.
It is with great honor and pride that
we present the Senior French Award
2016 to an exceptional student, Eryk
Soltys.
Senior Awards,
JOURNALISM
KRZYSZTOF CHWALA
Krzys Chwala has been a part of the
journalism program at Prospect since
his sophomore year, and it is not an
overstatement to say that, in that
time, he has changed the face of the
Prospector forever. He completely
altered the way our newspaper
staff looks at page design, as it is no
longer a necessary evil; rather, it is
yet another way to express yourself
and tell a story. Krzys never stopped
innovating, as he was always the one
willing to take a risk to try to find a
new way to tell a story.
I have never seen a student more
passionate and selfless about an
activity, as Krzys sacrificed time,
energy and sleep to make the
newspaper better than when he found
it. He always had time to help his
peers with a struggling story or page,
and I have never had a better leader,
both by words and example. Krzys
always did things the right way and
for the right reasons, simply because
Krzys couldn’t fathom anything
different.
It is with much pleasure and pride
that Krzys Chwala receive this year’s
Journalism Award.
KNIGHTS’ WAY
SKYLER KOCIUBA
Skyler Kociuba offered to manage the
Illini Fighting Hunger fundraiser and
succeeded beautifully. Additionally,
while working on the curriculum
for the topic “Look Deeper,” Sklyer
helped organize a presentation that
was presented to the Knights’ Way
leaders as well as the school. She also
managed to get the video done on
time and constantly kept in touch with
the development of this Knights’ Way
day.
Skyler has been a great role model and
helped tremendously with Knights’
Way. Congratulations on all your
achievements!
MATHEMATICS
KRZYSZTOF CHWALA
The 2016 Senior Mathematics
Award goes to a truly extraordinary
continued
student. This student really belongs
to Prospect-at-large because he has
excelled in science and English as well
as mathematics. This student appears
to not be motivated by grades, but
rather by his intrinsic interest in the
subject matter. His problem solving
skills, ability to connect related
concepts and speed of thought are
incredibly impressive. He was an
important four-year participant in
Prospect’s Math Team where he has
been a meet winner, division winner
and state qualifier. In addition, he can
often be found helping classmates
with their mathematics work. For his
efforts, contributions, performance
and achievements, the Mathematics
Department is pleased to present the
Senior Mathematics Award to Krzys
Chwala.
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
JOHN TWOREK
John Tworek is the recipient of this
year’s Music Department Senior
Medallion. John has been extremely active in all aspects of the music
program throughout his four years at
Prospect. He was a four-year member
of the marching band, where he was
a section leader, he has played in the
Symphonic Band for three years, was
part of the D214 Honor Band, and he
is performing as a featured soloist on
this spring’s band concert. He was
also in the choir program for three
years where he spent two years in the
Madrigals, one year in show choir,
two years in the combo, and was
twice selected for the ILMEA District 7
Choir. He has also participated in the
jazz band and symphony orchestra.
However, John is much more than a
list of ensembles, honors, and achievements. John is a model member of
each ensemble he is a part of. He is
dependable and a team player. He
sets a great example for those around
him by combining a great sense of humor with the ability to focus and work
hard. John has been a fantastic music
student and he is extremely deserving
of this honor.

PHYSICS
MARISA ROMANELLI
This year’s senior award for Physics
goes to a student who is exhilarated
to learn about the laws that govern
our universe. She has a passion to
understand physics and enjoys the
struggle to obtain deep understanding. By all counts she’s been successful! A
top test-taker, a great contributor to
class discussion, and a thinker who
yearns to solve problems -- it’s a great
pleasure to award Marisa Romanelli
the 2016 Senior Physics Award!
SENIOR P. E. LEADER
MERCEDES WALTER
This year’s Female Senior Leader
Award at Prospect High School
is Mercedes Walter. The Physical
Education department is recognizing
Mercedes as a natural leader with a
strong “voice”. Mercedes leads her
PE classes with a voice that provides
instruction and directs the students
towards fulfilling the expectations
of the class. She is always willing to
assist other Physical Education classes. Mercedes is a determined, goal
oriented, committed and a confident
young woman. These qualities
surpass her peers, and meet the
expectations of this deserving award.
SERVICE LEARNING
FAIMY SAJI
Miss Saji is very deserving of this
year’s service learning award. Over
the course of her 4 years at Prospect
she has consistently been among the
top for giving of service hours to our
school and community. She always
approaches service with a smile. This
year in addition to her many hours of
service, Faimy also served as a leader
on the service club executive board.
The dedication and hard work that
Faimy Saji gives to everything she
does will be missed next year.
SPANISH
DANIELA PERCIUN
The recipient of this year’s Spanish
Award is Daniela Perciun. Daniela
was chosen because of her dedication
to the Spanish language and her
Senior Awards,
excellence in the 4 skills of reading,
writing, listening and speaking.
Daniela consistently understands the
complexities of the language. Daniela
speaks eloquently, writes wonderfully
and truly challenges herself in the
Spanish language. Daniela has only
learned English recently, and the
challenges of learning a language and
its intricacies has been at the forefront
of her push to control the language
and speak it to the advanced level that
she currently commands.
Daniela’s knowledge of Romanian
has certainly helped her to learn both
English and Spanish in a very short
time period. This constant challenge
of learning 2 new languages since
coming to this country has allowed
Daniela the opportunity to understand
more completely the Spanish-speaking
culture and grasp the intricacies of
the Spanish language. Daniela plans
to continue studying Spanish while
she attends Community College next
fall before moving on to a 4 year
University.
VOCAL MUSIC
NINA GARY
Nina has been a part of the choral
program for all 4 years. During
that time she has participated in
every performing group that we
have to offer. She has been a show
choir performer for 3 years and a
dance captain. Nina’s choreography
has been featured in many of our
show choir performances. She is
generous with her time when it
comes to helping others or with the
organizing and planning of events
in the department. Her vocal talent
and ability to passionately perform
on stage is contagious. Nina is
resilient and hardworking. The
department has been lucky to have
her as a leader. Nina received the Pere
Marquette scholarship award and will
be going on to Marquette in the fall,
majoring in history. YEARBOOK
KENDALL NEUMANN
Kendall’s strong academic
performances in her core classes
continued
and in yearbook class are really
self-explanatory, however, what is
most impressive is her dedication
to her peers. As the editor-in-chief
for the yearbook, Kendall helped
out with numerous tasks, including
budgets, scheduling, contacts, and
teaching and guiding her peers. Her
meticulous manner and efficiencies
in problem solving are outstanding,
but even more impressive is the way
she helps her peers and remains
calm and patient in any situation.
The success in this area has instilled
the necessary foundation to ensure
ongoing achievement in her schooling
and beyond. Kendall shows a level
of maturity above and beyond her
peers. While she is not standoffish
or somehow aloof from her peers,
she nonetheless rises above the more
petty and immature concerns that
typify youth today. She instead often
serves as a clear moral and intellectual
standard to which her friends and
classmates aspire.
Remember, there is no one magic
move or secret that creates victory, but
lots of little items that when added
together can make one victorious;
Kendall has plenty of little things
that will make her victorious. I am so
proud of her!
PRINCIPAL’S AWARD
ALEC HEYDE
Alec is a creative, talented, and
energetic young man who has helped

ethic, and his bright outlook, Alec
Hyde has truly represented Prospect
with PRIDE and RESPECT, and he
is most deserving of the Principal’s
medallion.

significance of school experiences for
all involved. She is a natural problem
solver who leads through example.
Olivia Sykes is a most impressive
young woman and a wonderful role
model for her peers. It is with pride
that Olivia is awarded the Principal’s
medallion.

PHS Speech Team Wins Major National Recognition
Rhegan Graham
Ben Marshall & Molly McDermott
Veronica Boratyn
2016 was quite a year for the Prospect High School Speech Team. After winning 4 individual state championships and the
overall Illinois High School Association Team State Championship, Prospect went on to qualify 11 students to the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) National Tournament. In June, members of the Prospect Speech Team competed at the National Tournament held in Salt Lake City. This 5-day tournament brought together over 4000 students from
1000 schools across the country to compete for the national championship in their event. Not only was Prospect the only
Illinois school to earn the prestigious School of Excellence Award (given to the top 20 Speech schools in the nation), but
several individuals performed in front of over 4000 people and brought home awards never before achieved by Prospect
students.
Ben Marshall & Molly McDermott won the Duo Interpretation Final Round National Championship and finished 3rd
overall in an event that began with over 240 competitors.
Rhegan Graham & Veronica Boratyn competed in Informative Speaking against over 225 students. Prospect was fortunate
to have 2 of the 6 final round competitors with Rhegan placing 3rd in the nation and Veronica placing 4th in this inaugural
year for the event.
Because of their outstanding achievements, Ben, Molly, & Rhegan automatically qualify to the next national tournament
in 2017.
All students interested in becoming part of State Champion and Nationally Recognized Speech Team should contact Mr.
Kaminsky at [email protected]

Controversial Issues in the Classroom
Township 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.
District 214 provides its parents/guardians an opportunity to grant or refuse permission for their son or
daughter to participate in a class activity or to request an alternative assignment when study materials
are deemed controversial. Parents/guardians with concerns regarding controversial issues, materials,
and curricula should contact the school’s principal/designee. The administration has established
guidelines, procedures, and safeguards for an unbiased, impartial handling of controversial issues in the
classroom.

Prospect's AP Italian Class Receives a $100,000 Grant and an International Internship from Frantoi Redoro Grezzana (Verona), Italia The Frantoi Redoro Olive Oil Company in the town of Grezzana, located just outside of Verona, selected Prospect's AP Italian class to offer the students an opportunity to better understand the benefits of and cooking with olive oil, to research the culture surrounding the olive and the production of olive oil, and to engage in marketing and importing products. While enhancing their language skills, this project is in line with Prospect and District 214's Career Pathways Program. The program provides hands-‐on experiences in a variety of careers before college. The students in the AP course have been working hard all summer. This internship is divided into 7 projects. The AP students selected their partner and the particular project based on their career goals. This grant provides the funds needed for the students to complete their projects, at no cost to District 214, through olive oil tastings at various events and venues while educating the public on the benefits of olive oil in ones diet and through cosmetics. The grant also provides for three $1,000 scholarships based on their final research presentations. Each student will present their research project in April to a team of professionals both in Italian and in English. The students will welcome two members of the Salvagno Family, Marco and Claudio, August 17 who will train them in oil tasting to begin their journey. The students will launch their project at Onesti's Little Italy Fest-‐West in Addison, Illinois on August 18-‐21. They will also be at the Chicago Botanical Gardens Sunday, August 21st. Along with Onesti, we are grateful to Elio Pizza on Fire and the Gonnella Baking company for sponsoring various aspects of this project after hearing about this one of a kind opportunity for our AP students. The students will also have an opportunity to have a Farm to Table experience with the Redoro Olive Oil as the star of the food at Campo di Bella in Mt. Horeb, WI in February, 2017. If you wish to join us at future tastings and project events please email us at [email protected] to be put on our event list. Please follow us on social media as well. Prospect Parent Newsletter

New Educator Prep Program Focuses on Building Educators
More than 25 District 214 students have publicly signed a
formal commitment to Educator Prep, a new program
designed to identify and empower future teachers. In a
May signing ceremony mirroring those for college-bound
athletes, the students, representing schools across District
214, stepped on stage and signed letters of intent.
The program is a collaboration between District 214, local
elementary districts, college partners -- specifically
Northeastern Illinois and National Louis universities -and the national organization Educators Rising, whose codirector attended the event. Dan Domenech, executive
director of AASA, The School Superintendents
Association, also attended the event and spoke about the importance of the new initiative.
The program is aimed at supporting students who will eventually return to this community as the next
generation of educators. Next year, approximately 900 District 214 students will be enrolled in the
Educator Prep pathway taking specific courses toward future careers as teachers. They will have access to
dual-credit opportunities at partner colleges, classroom observation and internship opportunities in area
schools, and -- for those who continue with and complete the college program -- specific professional
development and guaranteed student-teaching positions in District 214 or a partner elementary district,
with the promise of a job interview if openings exist.

Save the Date: Decision 2016 - Panel Discussion
District 214 this fall will host political journalists
and consultants at a pre-election political forum,
allowing community members a free opportunity to
review the issues and trends at the heart of the 2016
United States Presidential campaign. The forum is
scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 20 in the
theater of the Forest View Educational Center, 2121
S. Goebbert Road in Arlington Heights. Panelists
will include Eric Adelstein, former State Director of
Illinois’ 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign and founding
partner of AL Media -- one of the nation’s leading
Democratic media companies; Pat Brady, former
chairman of the Illinois Republican Party and now a
consultant with Next Generation Public Strategies, a government affairs and media relations firm; and
Natasha Korecki, a senior reporter for POLITICO who authors Illinois Playbook. She previously worked
as chief political writer at the Chicago Sun-Times, covering state, national and city politics. Cumulatively,
the panelists have been key players in the analysis of influential political campaigns, with their voices
heard across print and broadcast outlets. A question-and-answer session will be part of the evening. The
program is part of a continued effort to engage the community around issues and critical learning
opportunities.

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. Prospect Newsletter
