Thanks, Dan, for your interest in serving on the school board -no doubt a very public, demanding and complex job. All Evanstonians should be thankful that so many citizens are willing to take on this position.
The primary purpose of a school is to create a safe communal environment for learning and provide a quality education preparing students for future success in both their personal and professional lives while also ideally helping them develop into informed and engaged citizens. Sorry for the run-on sentence.
