Honestly, mixed feelings about Perez. While the community wellness outreach and the mental health board involvement in the Pilsen area sound great on paper, the day-to-day at the school feels a bit neglected. My biggest concern is the age of the building—we've heard about ongoing 'troubleshooting' with basic infrastructure like the elevators and general maintenance, which makes me worry about ventilation and dust in the classrooms. Attendance seems to be a struggle for a lot of kids here, and it’s hard for the staff to keep up with health protocols when they're already stretched thin with case manager transitions and high needs. It’s a tough urban environment, and I wish the school had more resources to keep the facility truly clean and updated for the little ones.
