Is D97 Ready for iPads? Do You Buy the OPRF Parking Pass?: Readers, Weigh In

Also: The Park District of Oak Park has a new website; There's a bike drive in Oak Park this weekend.

Readers weigh in: We asked Patch readers their opinions about a couple of things on Facebook, including how their Oak Park and River Forest students get to school (Do they buy the $240 parking pass? Or are most OPRF students bikers and walkers?), and whether District 97's iPad rollout is coming too soon. We'd love to hear from you, too. See what people had to say here: 

New Park District website: It looks great. Check it out here.
