District 64 officials said they could not proceed with the no-trespass order, and have declined to act on the complaint the Bulavas submitted because the incident did not take place during school hours. In an email to Pioneer Press, district officials characterized the matter as a “non-school-related incident.”
“Bullying behavior [in Park Ridge] is not addressed and it’s minimized and it’s referred to as boys being boys,” Michael Bulava said. “It feels like they just want us to stop.”AdvertisementPark Ridge Police said in a statement that the department was “committed to providing a safe and secure environment for community members of all ages.”
Michael Bulava said the police official who was on duty told him that “due to the age of the offenders, there was probably nothing that would happen to them besides community service or peer court and that my wife should probably just let the school handle it.”
