D65: Invest in Neighborhood Schools
We are a grassroots movement of over 500 families across all ten current District 65 neighborhood elementary schools.

What is happening?
District 65 is considering closing multiple elementary schools starting in the fall of 2026.
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 multiple neighborhood schools. We need to make decisions with observed data, not shaky projections.
There are better solutions. Help us present them!
