Op-Ed from Angela Blaising, candidate for Evanston/Skokie School District 65:
On April 4th, 2017, Evanston residents overwhelming voted to pass the first property tax referendum in support of District 65 schools since 1986. Referendum proceeds raised property taxes by about $500 a year for the average Evanston taxpayer and proceeds totaled $14.5 million per year in additional tax revenues for the District. The District said the Referendum was necessary to boost fund reserves while providing valuable resources for classrooms and curriculum, keeping class sizes low and funding necessary projects such as deferred capital improvements. The District s warning in 2017 to taxpayers was that massive cuts would be needed to balance the budget if the Referendum did not pass, as much as $8.8 million over the immediately following two years.
The ransacking of a board member’s car in January was the most visible episode in a pattern of harassment toward Evanston/Skokie School District 65 personnel that began shortly before the start of the school year.
Over the past several months, board members and administrators have received more than a dozen emails containing derogatory, racist and homophobic remarks toward leaders and students pertaining to the district’s announcement of priority groups for in-person learning. An anonymous individual also mailed to the district’s central office a half-dozen religious postcards of Bible quotes that administrators say were coded threats referencing themes of death.
