More than 3,800 voters were in favor of $99.5 million bond referendum from Joliet Public Schools District 86 while 1,390 voters were against it, at about 7:20 p.m. on Tuesday.
“I think the biggest thing is the parents of Joliet want a choice,” said Wysocki. “They want to be able to say, yeah, I want my kids in school or no I don’t want my kids in school.”
Wysocki, a teacher in another district, has two children in elementary school and said they have been struggling with remote learning this past year.
“My daughter, she used to say everyday how much she loves school and at the end of the year she would start crying because summer was starting,” she said. “But now she literally hates school lots of everyday saying I hate school mommy, I hate school. ”
