The argument (which Biz Lindsay-Ryan has made publicly) is that the residency requirement results in people bothering the Superintendent when they are shopping or out about in the community. I think there is maybe a better argument which is: we don't require literally any other jobs to live here. Not even the Evanston City Manager lives in Evanston (he lives in Libertyville) - so why should this position require residency?

I think both arguments suck and all public employees should be required to live here, but that's just me.

When we lived in south Evanston we would see Dr. Goren on walks with his dog. He would stop and chat. Seemed like a pretty great situation.

The Board continues to prioritize the comfort of themselves and district admin over the needs of students and families.
