Maybe people should vote next time there is an election. Sadly, no one will run for school board because this town is bullshit. It’s actually easier to move your kids to one of the many private options. And then you don’t have to be angry all the time. Just hope that 202 stays reasonably stable and count the days until you can get there.…
Maybe people should vote next time there is an election. Sadly, no one will run for school board because this town is bullshit. It’s actually easier to move your kids to one of the many private options. And then you don’t have to be angry all the time. Just hope that 202 stays reasonably stable and count the days until you can get there. I’m not encouraged what lies ahead though, if 65 can’t send prepared kids to 202. It’s an alarming problem yet d65 does not seem to be doing much to change things. There’s no point in getting rid of Horton if he hand picks his own successor.
Wait until you see what D202 is up to, they’re about 4 years behind D65 on all this stuff. Hiring the same consultants and everything. More to come on this.
Karl - I moved my kids out of D65 during Covid and elected not to go to D202 when they hit high school (they will be in 9th and 11th grades this year at Loyola Academy) bc upon further look, I saw a lot of the same shit happening in D202 and don't want to risk my kids not being prepared for college. That said, many of my friends who have kids of the same age are thrilled with D202 but when I hear about their dumbing down or their offering math classes based on race I am happy about my decision. Next up - get the hell out of Evanston so I can stop paying the insane property taxes for nothing. Sadly, the will of the people in Evanston is to let the schools slide further and further down the tubes with no end in sight.

Waiting for the market to improve and to decide where to land next. Considering Regina for high school in 9 years. Yep- thinking ahead.
