Inside Peoria Public Schools proposed $700k plan to replace Elite Safe School
PEORIA (25News Now) - Community tensions are reaching a boiling point in Peoria over the future of the city’s alternative education system. For years, Peoria Public Schools has contracted Elite Community Outreach to operate its Safe School at Trewyn School. The program serves 6th through 8th grade students facing suspension, expulsion, classroom disruption, or neighborhood gang violence. Its staffers are not traditional educators, they are “game changers”, men and women with criminal records who turned their lives around to mentor youth in crisis.

Greg Tribbett Was Born in Peoria on November 7, 1968
Greg Tribbett was born in Peoria, Illinois, on November 7, 1968. By the time Mudvayne made The New Game in 2008, he had a pretty good idea what listeners thought of him. “I know some people think that I can’t play solos, only rhythms!” he told Guitar World. He’d asked his bandmates about putting more leads on the record. On “Do What You Do,” he stepped on a wah for his solo. It was the only effects pedal he used on the album.
