PEORIA, Ill. – The Greater Peoria Tailgate celebrating football isn’t the only big thing happening in Peoria today.
At least, that’s according to Peoria Mayor Rita Ali.
“…Now therefore I, Rita Ali, Mayor of the City of Peoria, Illinois, do hereby proclaim August 14, 2023 – her birthday – Doctor Sharon Kherat Day in Peoria, Illinois.”
Ali read the proclamation Monday on WMBD’s Craig Collins Show, saying many love the work Kherat has done becoming Superintendent in 2015, and with her administrative history starting as a principal.
“I get jobs offered regularly for the last 40 years. I can go to Texas, I can go to any state,” said Kherat. “But, I have selected to ‘Choose Peoria.’ It’s caring, it’s loving.”
Kherat has often raised the ire of the Peoria Federation of Teachers – including most recently with what they allege are cuts to school arts, but money spent on things like outdoor splash pads.
The Peoria Public School Board meets Monday night at 6:30 P.M.
