On July 4, 2022, innocence was ripped out of the hearts of Highland Park and Highwood Illinois due to a tragedy of unspeakable description. As a result, all community partners, including our local elementary and high school district, have jumped to action and heeded the call to support our first responders, the city, the community, victims, a host of social service agencies, and more.

Instinctively so many joined together to provide instant community counseling efforts on Tuesday, July 5, and those continued in multiple formats throughout the week and they will continue at the Family Assistance Center (FAC) this week. In this update, superintendent Lubelfeld shares updates, insights, plans, and reactions to how the community is uniting in counseling, prayer, and planning. The schools will open on August 24, with this 11-minute audio update, superintendent Lubelfeld acknowledged the outpouring of community support immediately after the 4th, explains the focus on reopening the schools after the summer break, focuses attention on "right now" that people are at various stages in the healing process, what is he doing about school safety and security, optional school "play dates" and next steps.
