OK voters, it’s time we do what is right for the young people in Cook County and vote yes on the school tax increase. The students had little to do with our school’s money problems and should not be punished by reduced course offerings. They, the students, weren’t responsible for the mandates from Washington, the reduction of state support or the decisions made by the school board and school administration. Let’s stick together and do what is right for the kids.
I’m not suggesting that we should not be concerned about the future of our schools. We need to elect those to the school board who will work for a school program that we can support. Inform yourself about school issues and communicate your views to the board and superintendent. Work with them to make us proud to be associated with Cook County schools. Start now with a yes vote on the school operating levy.
