Over nearly one decade of working with schools in the Harvey, IL K-8 system it has become apparent that the schools have continued to do their utmost to help the children living within the community. Thankfully there are many eager children and committed educators in each building.
Sadly, what exists outside the respective schools is more than alarming. I have seen homes become vacant and boarded up over the past years but over these last few weeks I believe conditions are worsening. There are literally complete blocks of abandoned homes in portions of the neighborhood.
I left two schools yesterday wondering if the community will survive in the years ahead.
