you failure to grasp facts is amazing 1. most of the people saying the northern site is wrong had ZERO issue with the BB boundaries -- at BB 2/ many , many children in HS drive to school - a 20 mile round trip across 5 major street and 2 sets of RR tracks for a 16 - 17 -18 year old driver for 180 school days is an issue. Driving home after a game when you get back at 9 PM is an issue. Our bus ride now is 8:23 to 8:55 -- 32 minutes. adding 4 more miles on this will make it 45 minutes easily. That is insane for the kids to be on the bus 1.5 hours a day. Maybe that is OK with you ( and if it is I hope you get your wish ) - but it is not with most of us. And before all the anti - kids having cars stuff comes out - the only way to get to swim practice or any other praactive after school is drive - there are no buses that early - the only way home after any sports practce or chorus practice - or deca meeting etc - is drive - no buses. And over 70% of the kids in HS are involved in something. 3/ All reasoning is by definition somewhat subjective - including your calling any requests for this selfish - your opinion and your opinion early. However these requests are based in facts - when 50% of the school would be populated in that way - it is not beneficial to the district. I know you don't care to people who dispute what you say...that is what makes you tick and that is ok. if course those in favor of BB didn't have an issue w/boundaries and do with the north 2/ahhhhh we get to the crux of the issue....why are teens driving to school when they can take a bus? Why can't we get an activities bus??? or have the kids take public transportation?? Kids driving to school is a statue symbol of the semi wealthy Also, if parents do their job and raise their children appropriately then no traffic issue or time of day driving is a problem... Can someone find any stats on towns with trains screeching thru their main roads on the train lines ie barrington, western springs, and find an increased incidence of teen deaths?? if 50% of the kids moving is right for the community,,,then it is right for the community, whether you like that stats or not Oh please spare us the class warfare nonsense on kids driving to school - and please do the math again -- 50% of ONE SCHOOL ( and your assuming all 4 want to go there) - this is right for -- that is 17% of the community by any math book. and the truth comes out -- you see benefit in it for you - so the heck with anyone else.... got it. duly noted. and the worst of your know it all parenting ( and everything else attitude) attitude -- "Also, if parents do their job and raise their children appropriately then no traffic issue or time of day driving is a problem" please tell that to the parents of the 3 WV girls ( 2 of which were close friends of my older daughters) - who were killed driving to school by a drunk driver on a MAJOR street - the likes of which we are trying to cross few. This was to get to swim practice - NO BUS ! You are an insenstive .............well I can't finish this because I will be banned. Tell their parents they didn't raise their children right ! Please keep stupid thoughts like that to yourself please. This comment ticks me off more than anything - my daughter still has nightmares over this...... "

Sorry to go off topic but how did that happen? Thighs.. Aprons too short, constantly having chicken blood soaking the pants and staying in contact w/ the skin while working 16 hr sundays. Was told it was a staph infection. Got an ointment and oral antibiotic and it started clearing right up.

Do parents feed their children sugar, processed foods, and meat/dairy with bgh in it and give their children unnecessary shots, OTC and prescription meds??? Now there is the real 24/7 exposure way worse than any substation in your opinion. and don't assume some to many parents here don't already limit much of the above, you are not the only one aware of the above concerns. If parents were so concerned than our lunch program would be entirely revamped...Most parents fail in this category I have seen my share of kids lunches stuffed with crud.

Remember Fox River Grove. One accident with a bus and train would devastate the district. With CN looking to route their traffic down the EJ line, limiting railroad crossings should be looked into.

Some concerned parents send their kids to school carrying a lunch, even in high school. Again, that personal responsibility thing creeping in.... For allergens, it's good, but for EMF it's bad... Is being personally responsible about food choices good or bad? I can't tell from your post.

This tragedy was the result of a seriously flawed RR crossing design. Correctly engineered crossings should be/are signficantly less risky. (still some risk)

" Funny, I was in the office yesterday at Hill to pick up my daughter who like many at Hill right now has the flu -- and the picture of JJJ is on the wall next to the counter. Even 10 years later - it brought a tear to my eye. for someone to say traffic hazards, and distance and major intersections etc are no effect if kids have good parenting -- is absolutely mind boggling to me. And from someone who takes care of people ? Maybe Jeffrrey Still's parents didn't do a good job either.

Oh please spare us the class warfare nonsense on kids driving to school - and please do the math again -- 50% of ONE SCHOOL ( and your assuming all 4 want to go there) - this is right for -- that is 17% of the community by any math book. and the truth comes out -- you see benefit in it for you - so the heck with anyone else.... got it. duly noted. and the worst of your know it all parenting ( and everything else attitude) attitude -- "Also, if parents do their job and raise their children appropriately then no traffic issue or time of day driving is a problem" please tell that to the parents of the 3 WV girls ( 2 of which were close friends of my older daughters) - who were killed driving to school by a drunk driver on a MAJOR street - the likes of which we are trying to cross few.

Less cars on the road equals less accidents...busses with students in them create less traffic on the roads...the end
