What is happening?
District 65 is considering closing 1-4 elementary schools staring in the fall of 2026, favoring 3 school closures.
The District 65 Board will vote on November 17th.
What do we stand for?
The District 65 Board wants to get it right. It is our mission to help and support them in making hard decisions to benefit our community long term.
We support neighborhood schools. Once a school closes, it’s gone — disrupting neighborhoods permanently.
We do not need to close 3 more neighborhood schools. We need to make decisions with observed data, not shaky projections.
There are better solutions. Help us present them!
We held a kick-off rally at Fat Shallot on October 1st! See our recap here.
