Earlier this month, I announced a comprehensive school reorganization proposal to address declining enrollment, overcrowding, and pressing capital needs at area schools.  Since then, I have participated in five public meetings to gather feedback from parents and residents.  Throughout that process, I've collected many good suggestions and ideas, and requests for additional information from CPS. 

I will now share this feedback with CPS while working to obtain answers to questions raised at these meetings.  I would like to thank everyone who offered feedback during this process.  I look forward to coming back to the community with additional information next month. 

This proposal represents what I believe is best for the entire 19th Ward community.  While it has been presented to the public for consideration, no decisions have been made at this time.  I remain very open to alternate ideas or suggestions. 

Sincerely,
