Shooting threat shuts down Oak Park and River Forest High School-twice

Oak Park and River Forest High School was placed on a soft lockdown Wednesday after threats of shooting inside the school went viral on social media.Authorities said the threat was not credible. No one has been injured.The school was placed in “secure and teach” mode at around noon, officials said, meaning that no one could enter or leave the building, but teaching would proceed as normal.Police then received reports of shots fired and arrived at the scene.

Divisions over Israel-Hamas war create tensions at Oak Park and River Forest High School

Tensions are high at Oak Park and River Forest High School, reflecting global strife over the war in Gaza, as pro-Israel and pro-Palestine students and parents report unfair treatment, bullying, harassment and feeling unsafe at school.The school, for example, has received 16 formal complaints since Oct. 7, but eight were anonymous complaints and therefore not investigated, officials said. Five complaints were determined to have already been dealt with. Of the three remaining complaints that were investigated, two alleged antisemitism and one alleged harassment of the school’s Middle East and North African student group. Those, a spokesperson said, were followed up in a manner that “focused on taking an educational approach preserving the dignity of all involved and ensuring a safe learning environment.”The situation, however, escalated at last week’s school board meeting after one parent called for the firing of one teacher and the removal from advisory posts of two others amid allegations of perpetuating antisemitism, racism or misinformation about the war.

Galen Gockel, one of OP's 'Greatest Generation,' dies

It is not hyperbole to say that Oak Park would not be the progressive village we know today without the countless contributions and unwavering commitment of people such as Galen Gockel. Gockel, 91, died Tuesday after a period of declining health.His longstanding dedication to the community has made an indelible impact on politics, education and the arts, as well as social justice. He served as a role model for public service — not only because of what he did, but how he did it, with humility, generosity and integrity.
