I’ve spoken with board members about this and I think they would be in favor of this too. Seems like a win, when they combined the Evanston township and Evanston city into the same public body...

That really surprises me that any of the current board members (especially on 65) would support this. I don't even think it was brought up during the last campaign by any of the candidates--even the reformers like John Martin.
The most recent board discussion about consolidation that i can find is from over a decade ago. And even in this report, some of the smart Board members at the time that I mentioned above were not very enthusiastic.
It is interesting to see the discussion in this article from 2012. Board members were actually discussing what might be best for students and how best to efficiently spend taxpayer money! A total turnaround from the current situation at 65!
