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.

East Peoria, Canton respond to hot-button issue for IHSA football conference
High school football conference alignment in the Peoria area has long been a hot-button issue. A recent Journal Star letter to the editor from Bradley professor Bill Bailey regarding the disparity between the large and small schools of the Mid-Illini Conference has added fuel to that fire, sparking online debate and reigniting discussion about scrapping conferences for district-based scheduling. "But as great as high school football can be," Bailey writes, "the Mid-Illini football conference is a travesty. It has an open secret." The East Peoria resident then cites an eye-opening statistic — the M-I's three smallest schools (Limestone, Canton and East Peoria) have posted an 0-75 record against the league's five biggest (Dunlap, Metamora, Morton, Pekin and Washington) over the last five seasons. He goes on to cite a 40-point differential in those half-decade of meetings. Canton has a second-year head coach in Nick McCormick. He guided the Little Giants to three victories over the last two seasons including a pair of victories in 2026. "As the head football coach at Canton, I accepted this position understanding the challenges that come with competing as the smallest school in the Mid-Illini Conference," said McCormick, in a statement to the Journal Star
