Illinois prepares to teach Asian-American history

PEORIA (WEEK) -- Teachers across Illinois are preparing for a more diverse approach to history starting in the fall of 2022.
The governor signed a mandate last week to add Asian-American history to all public schools in Illinois and Peoria will soon take part.
District 150 must find primary sources for that instruction such as documents, photos or even those who participated in historical events to meet these new mandated state requirements.
Regional superintendent Beth Crider says dialogue like this is crucial for representation in the classroom, and is hopeful that the narrative of history will change.
"We're not going to isolate women's history, or black history, or Asian history as separate courses that are optional," said Beth Crider. "It is time to take all stories and weave them together into the narrative of how we are the united states."

Peoria Public Schools to teach LGBTQ history after Illinois mandate

PEORIA — Gay and transgender people have made great contributions to society throughout history, but their stories are rarely told.
That will change this fall when teachers in Peoria Public Schools District 150 start using curriculum created by The Legacy Project, a Chicago-based nonprofit dedicated to researching and promoting the contributions lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people have made to world history and culture.
Students will have the opportunity to learn about Albert D.J. Cashier, who was named Jennie Hodgers at birth. He emigrated to the U.S. from Ireland as a teenager and enlisted in the 95th Illinois Infantry in 1862 and fought in about 40 battles during the Civil War. They could also learn about the author of “America the Beautiful,” a Wellesley College English teacher named Katharine Lee Bates, who had a 25-year relationship with another professor, a woman. And they will also have the opportunity to learn about George Washington Carver, an agricultural scientist and inventor who developed hundreds of products from peanuts, sweet potatoes and soybeans. Carver’s life partner was a man, a fellow researcher.

To Head Off COVID-19 Surge, Peoria County Bringing Shots To Teens In Schools

Brant Adreon, right, receives the first COVID-19 vaccine dose in the Dunlap High School library, where OSF HealthCare set up a clinic on Thursday, April 29, 2021.
COVID-19 vaccination clinics began this week in several Peoria County school districts. But the uptake varies significantly by community.
Amid rising case counts among younger people, Peoria City/County Health Department Administrator Monica Hendrickson says she wanted to get the Pfizer vaccine to teens as quickly as possible. So her office worked with the region's two major health care systems to set up in-school clinics.
"It's again coming back to convenience. Your kids are in their school, it's easy, it's a group you can catch quickly," she said. "It also makes it easier for families to get their kids protected."

Latest COVID Relief Bill Is 'Shot in the Arm' For Local Government

The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan passed through Congress along party lines and signed into law by President Joe Biden last week is welcome assistance for many in Peoria-area local government.
In addition to $1,400 stimulus payments for many Americans and boosted unemployment benefits, the bill includes $7.5 billion for The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention to combat the coronavirus.
The bill also includes $140 million in relief funding for Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties. For the City of Peoria, the one-time relief funds are welcome to blunt the blow of a painful budget readjustment cycle sparked by reduced revenues as the COVID-19 pandemic set in last spring.

Are Traditional Snow Days On The Brink Of Extinction?

With the advent of remote learning options during the COVID-19 pandemic, school snow days could start to disappear.
When a cold snap brought snow and below-freezing temperatures to central Illinois last week, Peoria Public Schools District 150 pivoted to at-home instruction four times.
Peoria County Regional Superintendent of Schools Beth Crider said that is just one example of school districts’ growing ability to switch to a virtual alternative on short notice when inclement weather dictates – and that could make the traditional snow day increasingly rare.
“I do believe that when we get past the pandemic, there are a lot of things that are going to stay, and there’s a lot of things that we’re not going to do any more. Snow days is one of those things that might become a thing of the past,” said Crider.
