It's an interesting political science question that doesn't happen in the US very often: what happens when a public body makes so many bad decisions that the people it represents no longer have confidence in the entity? At some point (in a post a long time ago) I did the census math on the number of K-8 students in Evanston and it is around 8500-9000. If D65 is around 6000 kids, that means something like 60-70% of the kids who live here utilize the public schools. That's ~2x2500=5000 parents that are likely voters in a referendum that gets like 14% turnout.
