ELMHURST, IL The six candidates for the Elmhurst School District 205 board had much good to say about the local special education program during a weekend event, with one challenger calling it top-notch.

Peoria Public Schools Superintendent Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat said the bill is all about equity.
“As a district with the high percentage of low-income kids, ELL (English language learner) kids, children of color, African American children, it really speaks to us,” said Desmoulin-Kherat.
She said equity has become more important than ever amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Right now, a big thing for us is analyzing our kids who are struggling and ensuring that they have some additional support, they’re getting extra support,” said Desmoulin-Kherat.
She said the proposal for a Whole Child Task Force particularly intrigues her. The task force is supposed to help create a supportive environment for children in schools across the state. Desmoulin-Kherat said schools need to have measures in place to address child trauma.
