This is not the only school construction that has been going on in Skokie; East Prairie District 73 built a new K-8 school that also included demolition of an existing structure. There was also a major addition added to Niles North HS that was just completed last year. Amazing, people make jokes about Skokie having five districts plus the HS but not one is in any kind of financial difficulty. Also, when we find that there is a corrupt admin as happened a few years back in District 219, they get broomed, not given extensions and “awards”.

It was quite a scene; people diving out of windows to avoid being arrested, fun times!

New Trier just hired Nanciann Gatta’s company to do their Superintendent search, so I FOIA’ed all the old investigation documents. Going to take you all on a trip down memory lane
