Lake Forest schools have programs and facilities in place to keep students healthy
There is much concern about the size of American students. In this day and age of 500 channels, video games and shrinking budgets that sometimes cut out physical education courses, two local Lake Forest schools are taking initiatives to make sure their students are active this year. Lake Forest Country Day School and Woodlands Academy have new initiatives in 2012-13 to keep kids in shape. At LFCDS, new curriculum is being developed for seventh and eighth graders this year that will emphasize the body to mind connection and talk about the importance of nutrition, stress management and hygiene among other subjects with the students. This program is scheduled to be extended to fifth and sixth graders next year. “With the goal of encouraging …

Allows merger of campus with 23-acre Barat parcel.
In a unanimous vote Tuesday night, the Lake Forest City Council approved an amended special use permit for Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart in Lake Forest. The 8-0 vote allows the merger of the private school's campus boundaries and the 23-acre Barat parcel, and also paves the way for the demolition of the early 1900s era Old Main building and reuse of the site for educational purposes. No work can proceed on the property without the submission of a master plan by Woodlands, which would require City Council approval. The master plan would detail Woodlands' use of the 23-acre parcel for educational purposes. "I know this has been back and forth for a number of months," said Lake Forest Mayor James Cowhey. "There has been a good …

The Lake Forest City Council’s consideration of an ordinance amending the Woodlands Academy Special Use Permit to allow expansion of the school’s campus to incorporate the 23-acre Barat parcel will be discussed at tonight’s (Feb. 6) City Council meeting. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at Lake Forest City Hall. The issue had been taken off the agenda on Jan. 17 by City officials after receiving word from representatives of Woodlands Academy, City staff and the City Attorney that they are still working to refine legal documentation related to the Special Use Permit for Woodlands Academy. In addition, Mayor James Cowhey and three of the eight aldermen were absent from the meeting.

A 3-2 vote allows a special use permit combining Woodlands Academy, former Barat campus as one educational unit.
The Lake Forest Plan Commission took the next step to reunite the campuses of Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart and the former Barat College by recommending Wednesday night that the City Council grant a special use permit to limit the combined parcels to educational purposes. When it meets Jan. 3, if the City Council follows the Plan Commission’s suggestion, it would extend Woodlands’ special use permit to use its existing grounds for educational purposes to cover the additional 23 acres of the former Barat property. That City Council action would clear the way for the new owner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, to obtain the proper permits to demolish Old Main. This is one of its conditions before making the gift to Woodlands. The…
