Summer break is not just a break it is an opportunity for many people to visit family that lives far away that they may not have seen in years. Summer is also an opportunity for people to make friends. It not only gives students a break but teachers to and can you imagine teaching the same thing over and over year after year? We all need more than just two months to recover mentally and physically from the ten month school year.
Allison supported: Extend Summer Break for All LCPS SchoolsA longer summer break isn't just about more time off; it's about making space for our well-being and growth. After a demanding school year, an extended break allows us to truly rest, pursue passions, and return to school feeling refreshed and ready to learn. It's an investment in our mental health and overall success!
Caleb supported: Extend Summer Break for All LCPS SchoolsStudents that work or are in sports are now unable to do those things. When class runs that late students barely have time for homework, sports, jobs or hobbies. This will hurt students more than it will help them. Finding childcare for those hours is close to impossible. This change will create issues, for staff, parents and students.
Brianne supported: Reverse Proposed School and Calendar Time Changes in Stillwater DistrictParents in the USA are expected to work (at least) 8 hours a day. For many, that is in part somewhere between 7 am and 6 pm. Schools have varying start and end times and none of those times ever correspond to a single parent’s full shift; they’re either gone before a kid leaves or working when the kid gets home.
The US is not built to support the needs of everyday people.
Eric supported: Reverse Proposed School and Calendar Time Changes in Stillwater DistrictThere are already many hurdles for working parents in terms of not only affordable child care options, but even available child care options. This schedule change would make it even harder for working parents. I see that there are possible plans to address the child care shortage, but none of those are guaranteed. We also know that older kids (middle school and high school) are able to be home alone or be self-sufficient for an earlier release time, which is not the case for young elementary school students. Many families do not have alternate options if the district does not have the bandwidth to accommodate more children in aftercare programs. Could we look towards having conversations/coming up with solutions that could address the academic success concerns, instead of a significant change and upheaval to families' schedules? I believe that we need to have solutions that can support working parents. Focusing only on academic success isn't factoring in other important pieces like the potential negative impact on parent's work schedules and stress levels, which then trickles down to the family as a whole. Supporting families, especially in the early childhood years, is so impactful and also contributes to meaningful academic success down the line.
Jennifer supported: Reverse Proposed School and Calendar Time Changes in Stillwater DistrictI have lived in my house since 1989 and have had such a wonderfully peaceful environment to live in. With the current situation of these concerts going on it is beyond enjoyable. I want my peace and quiet back so that I can enjoy my home like I did when I moved in. I do pay taxes and feel like we should not have to tolerate listening to somebody else’s music. I feel really sorry for all the families with young children.
Wendy supported: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!Seascape Resort used to be quiet. I used to enjoy living across from it, especially playing golf at the resort with my Dad. But now they have turned the resort into a “music vacation” place. I wish they would build an interior space for their concerts or at the very minimum do something to reduce the sound directed at our neighborhood. These concerts last for a long time. From around 3ish to 10pm for 3 days for “each” event. We are not looking forward to the six - 3 days events they have scheduled for the Fall. Please do something. This has become too much. I hate seeing my Dad work 12 hour days and then have to come home to hear the bass from a loud concert with the grand finale between 9pm-10pm.
Savannah supported: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!It is disappointing to renovate our home after 28 years of living in the same home, and absolutely loving it because it was located on the quiet side of MIRAMAR BEACH on the Bay. However, now we are experiencing an ever increasing invasion of sound and uncomfortable vibrations from the bass entering into our home environments due to the Topeka Concerts at Seascape Resort. We were tolerant when it started because it was a 3-day concert in the Spring and a 3 -day concert in the Fall. However the music festivals have grown in number with SIX 3-day music festival events scheduled in the Fall of 2025. This has gotten out of hand. We have met with the founder, we have emailed him, people have invited him over to their houses so he could experience the level of noise we are having to tolerate that has become frustrating for our families. Unfortunately, he has responded with empty promises and outright lies and manipulations. Topeka LLC never installed any type of sound mitigating infrastructure when they started these music festivals and this is a problem! They also directed the stage and the speakers to point towards the locals on the bay. This is inapporpaiate and unhealthy for the residential areas to be experiencing noise pollution of over 90 decibels for days and hours at a time. We receive approximately 6 hours a day for each 3 day concert, and sometimes there is a 4th concert day for the VIP guest. We need help getting signatures so our county commissioners can update and add to the current Walton County noise ordinance for our growing Walton County. If these ordinances do not start including appropriate decibel levels for neighborhoods and also the enforcement of sound absorbing fencing around all of these music festival events, then the entire South Walton is vulnerable to receiving potential year round noise violations invading our residential communities. We need to get to the root of the problem by updating our current Walton County Noise Ordinances so people can still enjoy the concerts without interrupting the residents constitutional rights to have peace and quiet in our residential neighborhoods. Life at home should be a refuge, a place to rejuvenate after a stressful day of work. Home should be a place for rest and relaxation, home is where we raise our children and have meaningful conversations with our families. We should not be asked to be tolerant when there are solutions that Topeka LLC, Seascape and Walton County should be addressing that would allow people to enjoy the concerts while we also enjoy our peaceful home environments.
Sabrina supported: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!The concerts are so loud people 6 miles away can hear them. The county should enforce some type of sound barrier, especially since these music concerts have changed from a few events a year to now "music vacations." Clearly, they have a plan to make the resort a music focused venue. If this is true, they either need to build an interior concert hall where the music events are held inside or they need to install sound minimizing infrastructure. The county needs to enforce this.
Alex supported: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!We live on Chase Run across the street. It wakes and keeps my child up and scares her. It also disrupts our sleep. All of our neighbors say the same thing, one of the neighbors even being a bartender at seascape and is not happy with it.
