Cook County Schools mean a lot to me. As some of you know, my wife Jane spent many years within the district and during that time the school experienced many changes. Principals and administrators came and went. The building and grounds changed. Teams both won and lost; however, the one thing constant through all those years was the children.
It’s the children that make the school. They walk into the halls of learning expecting to emerge better, better educated, better mannered, ready to take on whatever the world throws at them.
I believe the community plays a critical role in our children’s lives. It is the community’s responsibility to insure they are loved and prepared to continue our legacy into the future.
You have received your ballot and are being asked to once again dig deeper and support the needs of our children. All the funds being raised through this levy directly support our children. It’s unfortunate that rural schools bear the brunt of smaller enrollments and thereby reduced funding, but it’s a fact.
Support our children–vote yes to support the ISD 166 levy.
