That was what they told me when I called. I know people are worried that D65 will ‘bring down’ D202 but I think with recent statistics from the past two years it’s tough to say that Ian my already occurring.
Ha! That's funny considering D65 kids end up in D202. It's already impacting D202 as you note. It will only get worse - anyone who cares about education and can afford it has moved their kids private or left Evanston. D202 is a ticking time bomb and they know it.
I agree. ETHS is already dealing with the consequences of students who are unprepared yet residents seem to still be oblivious, in denial or simply uneducated about what is happening with education in Evanston. We also pulled our kids and left the districts. What amazes me is that even if you don’t have students in school or have made the choice to educate them elsewhere doesn’t justify not caring about the direction of either district—the majority of your taxes and property value is based on the school districts. Not having students in the district thus not caring about how they preform is a fallacy.
Update it takes *50 signatures* to get this on the 2025 ballot
