Develop some additional walking trails - possibly around some of the other lakes in the area. There are many older citizens in this area and walking is a recreation most can do. The one at the big lake is well used. I believe others would be as well. We have a lovely area, with great weather. Additional walking trails would provide an outlet for additional people who might use them if they were closer to where they live. IMO, walking around the same small lake 6 times beats the heck out of walking around the same block 6 times.

The residents of Whispering Ridge deserve the same quality of water service as everybody else in Lake Wales.

There is an abandoned building that is located on E. Street, directly across from The Roosevelt Academy. This building is completely run down and is an eye sore for the town. This property is also creating rat troubles for the neighboring community. Having this structure eliminated would restore the beauty that this neighborhood once possessed and help to increase property values within the city.

The Lake Wales pram Fleet has been a Lake Wales tradition since 1948 and has been in need of more room for awhile. As commodore of the fleet, I'd like the city to include in the recreation master plan space for either a new building or expansion on the old. The current location seems to be the best spot for it.

I am a graduate of LWHS. And now with the separation that has occurred in our community between McLaughlin Middle School parents and students with Bok Academy parents and students how do you plan on healing and mending this wedge? My child is a resident of Lake Wales and although he was a student at McLaughlin Middle School ((with a 3.5 GPA, in the orchestra, in the air Honor Society, amongst other things)) how do I know as a parent my child will be given the opportunity to attend and graduate from LWHS? My child should not be judged, mistreated or labeled because he attended McLaughlin Middle School. Why wasn’t he acted into Bok, I’m glad you asked, it was never a “reason” except he was put on the waiting list! Will he have the opportunity to attend the school of his choice, and hometown?

There are not enough lights to accommodate the many children and young adults playing soccer or other sports at the soccer park. In all other fields in the county the communities do have adequate lighting to accommodate except in Lake Wales. Currently a fund raiser is in place and the Lake Wales Soccer club has raised about $12,000 to help the initiative.

McLaughlin is the only public middle school on the eastern part of Polk County (Haines City, Dundee, Winter Haven, and Lake Wales) with detailed ESE help. A third of their student population is McKay transfers for ESE help. All other public middle schools on eastern county are turn around schools, choice magnet, private or charter and do not have ESE opportunities., or very limited ones (inclusion only where para assists in classroom). McLaughlin has reading coaches, assistive technology, teachers specialized in academic disabilities, various ESE support classes, inclusion, and self contained. What about these students?

Students who are currently enrolled at McLaughlin Middle School, and are in the jurisdiction of LWHS, will they have a fair opportunity to be accepted into LWHS? Or will they be told as students in the previous years that they’ll have to go to Bartow, Lake Region, Frostproof because of “no room” at LWHS. Although all the students in the same years who attended Bok were accepted?
And yes in previous years this has occurred!!

Students who attend McLaughlin Middle School are both academic and athletic scholars; however, have been labeled because they were either 1- not accepted into Bok or 2- (parent) did not apply for Bok. Will they be treated fairly? If it is a myth that Bok is the best school and to follow with LWHS - will the students who attended McLaughlin now have the opportunity to have a better opportunity at LWHS although they are not charter (McLaughlin), a past student of Bok, or the parent isn’t a financial donor? Will the students be treated fair!!!! And what I am saying by “fair” is that they are accepted into LWHS, not labeled, and allowed to participate in (all chosen/qualified for) student-body activities (sports, honors, music, debate teams)?
