#11 Civics

Bartlett High School continues to make civics a top priority.

A state organization recognized Bartlett High School for offering outstanding civics courses and extracurricular opportunities that help students become involved in local and state issues that impact local communities.

The Illinois Civic Mission Coalition honored Bartlett High School's 10 years of fostering a school climate. It cultivates and models civic learning and builds strong relationships within the surrounding community.

The U-46 school is among 67 Illinois high schools since 2006 and that have earned the designation of a democracy school. 

The Bartlett school assembled a democracy school team. Which consisted of teachers in world language, science, special education and language arts to support the Democracy School Initiative.

"We commend Bartlett High School for their tenacity and enthusiasm in expanding and improving civic learning across the curriculum and throughout Illinois," Sonia Mathew said. She is the Civic Learning manager at the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. "Through these practices and experiences students see firsthand the critical role they play in shaping government and society."

The school will receive a $3,000 dollar stipend in December. This will help the school continue civics and grow.

#10 Listening Post

Listening Post 

What is a listening post? It is a place where people can go to get their news and to listen in on people's conversations about sports, religious, news, and other important topics in life. 

My listening post is my mom and dad and my gym. When I go home I hear my parents talk about sports and news. For instance, my dad will let me know what is going on in the world and let me know about trending stocks.

When I go to Physiques which is the gym I go to. I hear employees and trainers talk about how to help clients achieve their goals and hear many of them talk about SAU and how their classes are going. 

I also hear them talk about religion and how God has helped them through tough times in their lives. Which as a Christian is awesome to hear.

My trainer Keon is always talking about the Razorbacks and the Dallas Cowboys and he will let us all know what is going on in the sports world. 

Therefore, my parents and my gym are my two listening posts. One lesson I have learned from a listening post is to listen more because that is how we can all increase our knowledge in our everyday life.

In that particular instance, a Trooper Alan Aiken struck Lt. John T. Overman with his patrol vehicle on January 11. 

Overman said Aiken mistook him for a suspect and struck him from behind. Overman was thrown across the hood of Aiken's vehicle and rolled up under the bumper. The lieutenant said a tire rolled over his lower legs, giving him "life-long" injuries, according to police documents. 

The documents state Aiken was reprimanded for "unacceptable" actions in that chase and ordered to be pulled from any pursuits he tries to join or terminate those he initiates in all but "extreme cases." 

"It is obvious that Aiken is either unable or unwilling to conform to the agencies expectations. He poses an extreme liability to the agency. The safety of the public, other officers and himself," Overman wrote in his complaint. 

In another case incident. Two employees were suspended for making false payroll claims involving paid leave. 

No further public records pertaining to Troop L's administrative review were immediately available according to a spokesman for Arkansas State Police. For more information go to our website.
