Elk Grove High School in Chicago has spent years waiting for the FAA to start soundproofing their buildings. Now, after years of patiently waiting for funding, the FAA has decided to scratch Elk Grove from the list. But why?
The FAA says that O’Hare has created new flight paths on their runways and that the school would then experience a reduced level of noise. The real problem, however, is that the new flight paths won’t be fully operational for at least a few years, leaving students inconvenienced until they are in full force.
