PEORIA, Ill. The Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce on Thursday welcomed Peoria Public Schools District 150 Superintendent Dr. Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat to deliver the annual “State of the Schools” address, virtually.
Kherat highlighted the challenges and achievements the district has met during the pandemic-riddled past year.
“During the first two weeks of March 20 [of 2020], I received a number of phone calls from our community, just concerned about what was happening in our community, our state, and in our city. Essentially, they were really saying to me PPS needed to do something,” she said.

Mike Murphy thinks Peoria Public Schools District 150 should pass on a balanced calendar proposal in favor of a modified plan, and he has a suggestion for handling a controversial effort to remove the racially charged names of six schools.
Murphy was elected to a five-year term on the board of education on Tuesday, defeating incumbent Dan Walther by a 51.5% to 48.5% margin.
“It was a close race. I know I had a lot of support, but I know I have a lot of work to do to show just what exactly I stand for and what I m capable of doing once I get onto the board,” said Murphy, adding one thing he wants to see is a compromise over the renaming issue.
