Minutes of the Meeting of theBoard of EducationDecember 14, 1987

Because of the confusion at the November 23 meeting regarding the abstention onthe motion pertaining to "community input after campus boundary study," Mrs.Allison requested that the memo addressed to Dr. Cartwright from Alan Mullins,school attorney, be read into the official record. This memo, dated November 24with the subject "Board Members' Abstention from Voting," was then read by Mr.Tate:

"The general rule is an abstention is counted with the voting majority.Therefore, it does not affect the outcome of a vote except in those raresituations where the School Code requires a two-thirds vote of the Board toapprove a motion. As a practical matter, it is easier to count only the yes andno votes. The motion passes if the yes votes ou:tnumber the no votes.

"The motion at the November 23 meeting to grant the community time toreview the administration's study did not pass because the yes votes did notoutnumber the no votes."

Mrs. Allison stated she would also like a memo written by James McNamara'director of planning and research, read into the record. The memo, datedDecember 3, 1987 with the subject "Enrollment Projections for Districts 130 and132" was then read by Mrs. Allison:

"Our projections for these districts do not show any significant growth over thenext few years. As with all projections, they need to be qualified and theseare no exception. Both districts have higher mobility rates than the stateaverage-District 132's exceeded 30% in 1986-87. High mobility can affectdemographics which in turn impact school enrollments•.. In 1986 District 130had a significant jump in its enrOllment, but wasn't sustained this fall.Likewise, District 132 had a comparatively large kindergarten class this fallafter two years of decline at this level. Our projections are for regularprogram students and exclude ungraded special education students. Thedifferences between the total enrollment and those included in the projectionsare small enough to make our projections a reasonable estimate of enrollmenttrends over the next few years."

Mrs. Allison reviewed the facts as to why the Board of Education voted last yearto close Old Main and lease it to District 130. She cited cost savings and thecontinuation of a good educational system at Eisenhower Campus, with noprojected increase in enrollment from the feeder schools•.She said they were tOld.Eisenhower Campus could house 2200 students.

Mr. Tate addressed the audience regarding the motion made on November 23directing a study of the attendance boundaries in District 218 to equalize allschools. He said that this request is not new; he has been informed that prior to1970 District boundaries were adjusted on a regular basis and students weredistributed according to numbers and race. Over the past 17 years there has beena gradual racial change on the east, a population growth on the west, and duringthe 1980's a general decline in enrollment in all three schools. No boundaryadjustments have been made during these 17 years to provide a balance.

Mr. Tate explained that the Board asked for a plan to be developed by theDistrict's professional staff. He said the Board will not tolerate destruction of

the District's educational system, nor will it tolerate any negative impact. Therewill be minimum disruption. Any changes made must be in the concept of beingfair, compassionate, and understanding. No group or area will gain at the expenseof another area. This is one District.

Mr. Tate said the plans at this time are perceived to be:

• Almost every feeder school area within District 218 will remain exactly thesame; essentially those students from Calumet Park, which are black, white,and hispanic, will be gradually introduced into the Shepard and Richardscampuses.

· This will affect only incoming freshmen and this year's freshmen who will besophomores. The juniors and seniors will remain in their present schools. Inabsolute numbers this will probably affect 100 students (1988-1989).

• There should be no additional cost because all students in this area (CalumetPark) are bused anyway.

• No students will be bused east, and no schools will be closed.

· There will be no interdistrict transfer; i.e., students from Shepard toRichards.

· Student enrollment (number of students) will not be balanced. By 1991Shepard will have the largest enrOllment, followed by Eisenhower andRichards.

· By 1991 the minority balance at the three high schools will be approximatelylevel. Eisenhower will have 42%, Shepard 24%, and Richards 30%.

Mr. Tate then asked Dr. Cartwright a series of questions in order to establish hiscreditability and to verify his goals and concerns for fairness and qualityeducational programs for all District 218 students. Mr. Tate concluded by statingthat specific details of the plan are not yet available, but again emphasized therewill be as little disruption to the educational programs as possible.

Members of the audience came forward and expressed their concerns and askedquestions about the proposed plan. At the conclusion of the discussion the Boardannounced a recess. It was 9:50 p.m.

The meeting resumed at 10:08 p.m.

The total District 218 enrollment on the November 1987 report was 4790students. The total enrollment at the Sauk Area Career Center (all districts) was756 students

District 132AgendaRequest


RESOLVED, That the Board of Education of Calumet Public Schools ofDistrict 132 strongly urges the Board of Education of Community High SchoolDistrict 218 to carefully reconsider its contemplated action relative to theremapping of its attendance center boundaries, taking into consideration theimpact such remapping would have upon all students attending CommunityHigh School District 218 attendance centers and their families.

Adopted by the Board of Education of School District 132 on January 6, 1988.

S/Christine S. StonePresident, Board of Education

S/DOrothy BurkhartSecretary, Board of Education

The resolution was then presented to the Board of Education of District 218.

Mr. Milton George, superintendent of School District 132, requested that hisadministrators be given time to work with District 218 administrators to possiblydevelop more acceptable alternatives to the proposed boundary adjustments.

Dr. Jewell, assistant superintendent for administrative services, reviewed theproposed campus boundary adjustments for Community High School District 218.His report included information regarding the Board mandate of November 23,1987; enrollment projections; present boundary lines for Robbins and the proposedboundary lines for Calumet Park; the educational effects; costs; and legalimplications. Dr. Jewell said the proposed plan divides the community of CalumetPark with an east/west boundary line drawn on 126th Street from the easternborder to the western border of Calumet Park. Students north of that line wouldattend Richards while those south would attend Shepard. The change will affectfreshmen and sophomores in 1988-1989; freshmen, sophomores and juniors in 19891990; and all Calumet· Park tIigh school students in 1990-1991. Of the 468Calumet Park students projected by 1990-1991, 256 are expected to attendRichards and 212 are expected to attend Shepard.

Mrs. Christianson moved, seconded by Mrs. Allison, that before this plan isadopted by this Board, it be opened to the community for one month for them tobe able to look at it. She then reiterated past Board actions when boundarychanges were first brought up at the November 23, 1987 meeting. She said at thismeeting she made a motion that a study committee made up of citizens from theentire District 218 community be selected to give input. She suggested thatcommittee members be selected by the leaders from the different feeder schoolsand from District 218, so that every community would be informed and know whatwas going on throughout the entire process. This motion was defeated.

Mrs. Christianson said after her motion was defeated a second motion was madeand that also was defeated. This motion was that the community be given onemonth to study the plan before this Board takes action. Mrs. Christianson said sheis asking for this motion again, this evening - that the Board grant the communityone month to study the proposal before Board action is taken.

CommunityInput onBoundaryAdjustments


Mrs. Allison restated her own and Mrs. Christianson's concern about communityinput. She requested that the report reviewed by Dr. Jewell, "Campus BoundaryAdjustments," be made available to the public.

Mr. Tate spoke against Mrs. Christianson's motion. He said the Board is not actingon the proposal this evening. He said there will be two weeks before Board actionis taken and two weeks for study and input. He also said the gist of the proposalhas been aired publicly for several weeks. Mr. Tate explained that the District isworking against time constraints because of contracts, assignment of students andstaff, etc. He said if the Board does not either accept or reject this proposal inapproximately two weeks, it would be impossible to implement the program forthe 1988-1989 school year, which would result in one of two things. Either thenew proposal would have to include freshmen, sophomores and juniors in the 1989-1990 school year, or, we put it through now. --

After further discussion Mrs. Christianson restated her motion: that this Board nottake action on this document until the 8th of February, which is the first meetingin February. Mrs. Allison seconded the motion again. The roll call vote wastaken. Mrs. Christianson and Mrs. Allison voted aye. Mrs. Byrnes, Mr. Savino,Mrs. Vacca, and Mr. Tate voted no. The motion was defeated.

Mr. Tate announced that the document entitled "Community High School District218 Campus Boundary Adjustments, January 7, 1988" will be available fordistribution in the District office by 3:00 p.m. on January 12, 1988.

Mrs. Allison read from the following quotation in a letter from Klein, Thorpe andJenkins, dated December 31, 1987, Section 10-21.3 of the illinois School Codewhich provides that it is a duty of the Board of Education: .

To establish one or more attendance units within the district. As soon aspracticable, and from time to time thereafter, the board shall change orrevise existing units or create new units in a manner which will take intoconsideration the prevention of segregation and the elimination of separationof children in public schools because of color, race, or nationality. Allrecords pertaining to the creation, alteration or revision of attendance unitsshall be open to the public.

Mrs. Allison stated she thought the title of the proposal shOUld be changed andsuggested "Changing School Attendance Areas."

Mrs. Allison commented or asked questions about: statements made regardingovercrowding at Eisenhower High School, the time students will spend on the busesand the number of railroad crossings, the number of schools in Calumet Park, thereason Calumet Park was divided into two sections rather than three, why currentfreshmen have been chosen to be part of this plan, enrollment projections, thenumber of teachers that will have to change buildings, the Chapter 1 program, andthe number of students that will be affected.

Comments


In concluding her remarks Mrs. Allison read from the following paragraph takenfrom the letter written by Klein, Thorpe and Jenkins, dated December 31, 1987:

It should be noted that the changing of attendance areas almost alwaysreSUlts in some conflict and tensions. Accordingly, a legal challenge is alwaysa possibility. In situations where a proposed change would so increase traveltime to and from school for a certain group of students so as to significantlyimpinge upon the educational process, a valid objection may be made. (e.g.Tometz v. Board of Education, 39 ill.2d 593 (1968». Also, when a busingsystem is established that .places the burden of achieving racial balance onlyupon one group of students, the "burdened group" may be able to successfullychallenge the plan. (See e.g. Kelle v. Metro olitan Count Board ofEducation 492 F.Supp. 167 (1980 • In Tometz, the illinois Supreme Courtacknowledged that there are factors other than racial imbalance which mayproperly be considered in setting school attendance boundaries such as,traffic, distances of students from schools, finances and classroom capacity.

Members of the audience were invited by Mr. Tate to come forward at this timeto ask questions and comment about the proposed campus boundary adjustments.He reiterated the Board policy regarding public participation in District 218 boardmeetings, and he stated the time was 9:27 p.m.

Audience members did comment and ask questions about the proposed changes. Inresponse to an audience member's question about what mandate he was referringto, Mr. Tate read the same paragraph from the Klein, Thorpe and Jenkins' letterthat quoted Section 10-21.3 of the illinois School Code previously read by Mrs.Allison.

Mrs. Christianson then read from this same letter the following paragraph quotedfrom Section 10-22.5 of the illinois School Code:

To assign pupils to the several schools in the district .••but no pupil shall beexcluded from or segregated in any such school on account of his color, race,sex, or nationality. Nothing here shall be construed to permit or empower theState Board of Education to order, mandate or require busing or othertransportation of pupils for the purpose of achieving racial balance in anyschool.

There was further discussion. Mrs. Christianson moved, seconded by Mrs. Allison,to extend the allotted time for audience participation. Mr. Tate said he wouldcontinue this discussion for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 30minutes. He said the Board would go on with its regUlar business on or before10:30 p.m.

The comments and questions continued. In response to a question raised by anaudience member Mr. Tate said that he, nor did he feel any Board Member, did nothave any problems with legitimate objections or alternative plans showing whathas been overlooked for prOViding something better. He said most of theobjections are simply objections without an answer or without an alternative. Mr.

Tate said it is extremely easy to object, but I would first like to see an objectionwith an alternative or a better idea. He said all he felt he heard were primarilyobjections, in other words, status quo.

At 10:36 p.m. Mr. Tate recessed the meeting.

The meeting reconvened at 10:52 p.m.

The total District enrollment on the December 1987 report was 4766 students.The total enrollment at the Sauk Area Career Center was 751 students (alldistricts).

The November 1987 financial report was presented to the Board Members for theirinformation.

Board Members were given the schedule for the January 22, 1988 Institute Day toreview. The focus of the sessions is to review and assess the current educationalgoals and mission - to examine and extend the curricular development by Districtdepartments.

A report prepared by a Purdue University evaluation team regarding the District'sgifted and talented program was presented. The evaluation was conducted over aone-day period in which three individuals visited Eisenhower, Richards, Shepardand PIE. They examined the current program and recommended possible avenuesfor further gifted/talented development. The report is being used as a majorresource as the District completes planning for a gifted/talented programproposal.

A profile of recent District 218 illinois State Scholars was presented. District 218had 79 for 1988. The students are selected for their ACT and SAT test scoreachievement and for their class rank at the end of their junior year. To be eligiblefor consideration a student must take the ACT or SATin the spring of the junioryear, and the student must be a U.S. citizen and be of good moral character.

Mr. Tate said he would like to request that number 10 on the agenda,Recommendations of the Superintendent Concerning Staff Personnel, be moved tothis point. Mrs. Christianson said she would like to withdraw from the "CertifiedResignations" section the two administrators listed and vote on them separately.Mrs. Allison seconded this motion.

We then had approximately thesame number of students in those buildings that we now have at Eisenhower.We did not hear that schools were overcrowded and that some students shouldbe transferred to other buildings. Those areas worked out the problems andwent on because they knew they were for a year or two. With decliningenrollment projections the same is true at Eisenhower. We expect theenrollment to go down starting next year and to continue to drop.

When this idea of transferring large numbers of stUdents from one campus toanother was first introduced in November, I made a motion to havecommunity input in the form of an advisory committee. In all of the reports

Statementfrom Mrs.Christianson


from the federal level of a "Nation at Risk" to the reform bill in illinois, weare told to involve parents in our major decisions. Changing schoolboundaries is a major decision. When parents sit down together and areallowed input into the plan, they will support whatever decision is madebecause the fear of the unknown is gone and they have had a chance to havean active part in the decision affecting their child's life. An unhappy parentproduces and unhappy child. An unhappy child does not do well in school.

The parents involved in the PTA's and booster clubs in our District and feederdistricts are leaders in our educational systems. If we were proposing to builda building or ask for a tax rate increase, we would certainly ask for theirinput and help if we wanted to be successful in our endeavors. In our Boardpacket received for this week we have a cost saving projection if we closeRichards. We expect to have 4300 students in 1990-91. If 600 are sent to PIEthat leaves 3700 to be divided into two bUildings or 1850 to a building; 100more students than we now have at Eisenhower, that claims to beovercrowded. If this is a serious plan how many more students are we goingto disrupt and, of course, it will be some of the same students we are talking

. about now.

In our District we have used SAM - Systems Approach to Management. Thisapproach lists short and long-range plans and every Board Member can haveinput. It is updated each year as goals are reached and new goals andobjections are set. This idea of boundary change could have been one of ourgoals; looking at a short and long-range plan to see how it would affect alleducational programs and building usage in the future, the cost involved andour bUdget set to the top priorities. The old saying haste makes waste comesforth at this time, and I am speaking not only of financial waste but timewaste of our students. Four years is not a long time to prepare our studentsto go out into the adult world.

I have read in the paper that there were 15 proposals. I as a Board Member ofthis District know of only one discussed by this Board. I asked forinformation on two of the proposals sent to us by the parents from CalumetPark, but only have partial information on one and no information on theother. So I therefore make the following motion:

that this Board establish a citizens' adVisory committee made up ofcitizens from the entire District to study boundary changes or alternativesto our problem. The committee members shall be from the feeder districtPTA's and parent groups and PTA's and parent groups from our -District,that the administration shall be used as resource people to the committee,and the committee shall have all recommendations in writing to this Boardby May 15, 1988. It shall be a top priority of this Board to work on thischange for the 1989-90 school year.

The rationale for this motion is that I have served twice on advisorycommittees for this District and also for my local elementary district. I haveseen other problems worked out over the years. If we keep on the way we aregoing' we will destroy the District, so I ask my fellow Board Members tosupport me in this motion.

Mrs. Allison said she would like to support this statement and seconded the

Mrs. Cynthia Marron, representing "Concerned Parents and Residents of District218" addressed the Board. She commented about the District 218 School Boardpolicy book and asked if the Board Members had familiarized themselves with thepolicies that govern their actions as School Board members. Mrs. Marron statedshe' wanted to speak to the fact that the School Board, in regard to the matter ofremapping the District, has failed to comply with certain aspects of policy as setdown specifically in the School Board policy book for District 218. She said shewould like to make this a matter of public record, and she then read the followingstatements quoted directly from various areas in the School Board policy book:

ConcernedParents andResidents ofDistrict 218

School BoardPolicy


Mrs. Marron stated that she has concluded that in handling the decisionsconcerning the remapping of the District the Board Members have not conducted·themselves as a proper School Board. On this matter the Board is in directconflict with current Board policy. She asked, how can it still be possible to takeaction tonight on the remapping without having taken these basic and importantpolicies into consideration?

Mrs. Elaine Fryer, a resident of Calumet Park and a representative of the"Concerned Parents and Residents of District 218," expressed concern about theproposed remapping, the Chapter I program, and student busing. She thenpresented a petition, signed by 524 Calumet Park residents. The petition read asfollows:

PETITION FOR DELAY OF PROPOSED ACTION

The parents and other concerned residents of Community High School District#218 request that the Board of Education of said District postpone voting onthe remap issue for a period of at least one month.

This request is based upon the concerns expressed by parents and otherresidents that they were not allowed adequate time to familiarize themselveswith the impact the remapping would have on our students and our·com munities.

This same petition, signed by over 4,000 concerned residents of Alsip, Blue Island,Chicago Ridge, Crestwood, Oak Lawn, Palos Heights, Robbins, and Worth, wasagain presented to the Board of Education.

Mrs. Judy Frank then proceeded to read the following resolution approved by theVillage of Crestwood:

Attest: S/Nancy C. VenegasVillage Clerk

Mrs. Jan Christianson, also representing "Concerned Parents and Residents ofDistrict 218," presented letters from eight PTA executive boards of elementaryschools that feed into District 218. Mrs. Christianson said she was proud topresent them and to make the School Board aware of the importance, purpose andideals of the PTA. She then read one of the letters:

Dear School Board Members of District 218:

As a PTA Council which is partially comprised of elementary schools and aJunior High School that feed into School District 218, we wish to ask you todelay action on the proposal to reorganize your campus boundaries. We areconcerned that the communities affected by these changes have not hadadequate time and information necessary to fully understand your proposal.

We believe it would be in the best interest of all involved in such changes tohave an avenue for input into the decision making process so that all theramifications of your action can be fUlly explored. We ask that you give yourconstituents an opportunity to express their views and share their ideas withyou. We feel that this approach to the situation will lead to a solution whichwill be of maximum benefit to all students in your school district.

Again, we ask that you delay any action on your proposal to adjust campusboundaries. We also ask that you give serious consideration to our suggestionto include community, parental and student participation before making afinal decision.

Sincerely,

S/Lynn C. LangPresidentOak Lawn-Hometown PTA Council

Mrs. Christianson reminded the Board that the complete outline of the campusboundary adjustments was not presented to the public until January 11, 1988, andcopies of the plan were not available until the following day, January 12. She saidthat means that the public had apprOXimately two weeks tO'review and'seek

PTAConcerns


answers to some very serious questions that concern their children. She said thisis another reason the Board is being asked to delay the vote.

In summary, Mrs. Christianson said the "Concerned Parents and Residents ofDistrict 218" have brought the following:

1. Policies which they feel the Board has not abided by

2. Petitions signed by over 4000 people to make the Board aware of the factthat the community deserves to be heard

3. PTA letters and the concerns of their boards for all the children inDistrict 218 to have the best educational programs that can be providedfor them.

Mrs. Christianson said busing may not be the answer. She said we are one Districtand you (the District 218 Board of Education) have the future of 4900 students inyour hands tonight. They are aU of our children.

Mrs. Allison asked if she could make comments and ask questions at this time; shesaid she had questions about policy and Chapter I. Mr. Tate said no; he would liketo continue and allow each group to give its presentation. After discussion Mrs.Allison asked Alan Mullins, school attorney, his opinion as to when it is theappropriate time for Board Members to either ask questions as to the agenda onthe floor or make comments. Mr. Mullins said all Board Members have a right tomake a comment and ask questions, but it is the Board President's prerogative toallow the time and to set the order of the agenda. Mrs. Allison said she thought itwould be better to discuss each item on the agenda as it is brought before theBoard; however, she said she understands it is Mr. Tate's prerogative to not allowher to do this. She said she wants it in the record that she does not agree and shedoes protest.

Mr. John Hamilton,mayor of the Village of Robbins, asked the Board to reconsiderand to let the citizens have input. He also requested District 218 to distribute anyavailable information to the citizens of Robbins so they know what is going on.

Mr. Frank Gassmeir addressed the Board regarding the preViously read resolutionfrom the Village of Crestwood. Speaking on behalf of Mayor Stranczek, he saidthe resolution was unanimously passed by the mayor and the trustees. Heexpressed objections to the proposed campus boundary adjustments and asked theBoard to take the time to examine the problems.

Mrs. Christine Stone, president of the Calumet Park pistrict 132 Board ofEducation, presented and reviewed ten alternative proposals to the District 218campus boundary adjustment plan. Mrs. Stone said on January 13, 1988 acommunity meeting held in Calumet School resulted in the drafting of proposalsthat may serve as viable, economic and rational alternatives to the proposalcurrently before the CHSD 218 Board of Education.

Mr. Milton George, superintendent of District 132, also addressed the Board andreiterated that the proposals came from. a public meeting held in his District; he

RobbinsMayor

CrestwoodSpokesman

District 132Proposals


suggested a committee made up of all segments of District 218 be formed to seewhat other proposals could be developed.

Mr. Tate said he would like it noted that only Calumet Park School District 132submitted alternative plans. He said they have been studied, and Dr. Jewell wouldaddress the proposals.

Mrs. Allison said she would like it noted that the District 218 Board of Educationdid receive District 132's counterproposals. However, the Board Members did not·receive the District 218 response to the counterproposals until the Thursdaybefore the Board meeting, in their Board packet.

Dr. Jewell then reviewed the District 132 alternatives. He said the responsesprovided are based upon the Board mandate of November 23, 1987 and informationgathered by the administration. The alternatives and responses follow:

1. Postpone implementing any action until the 1989-90 school term, therebypermitting a committee comprised of representatives of all communitiesto come up with various proposals.

Response:If the Calumet Park plan is to be implemented for 1988-89, the decision todo so should be made very soon. If the program is implemented, it willaffect staffing levels at campuses as well as the utilization of facilities.Families must be notified and orientation programs must be developed. Ifthe decision is delayed until 1989-90, Eisenhower, in 1988-89, wolild have41 % of all students enrolled in the three campuses and 69% of all minoritystudents in the District. If and when the Calumet Park plan is fUllyimplemented, Eisenhower will have 43% of all District minorities, Shepardwill have 24%, Richards Will have 24%, and PIE will have 9%.

2. Permit District 132 Calumet Park Students to have open enrollment inEisenhower, Shepard and Richards.

Response:It is believed that open enrollment for minority students would notsignificantly reduce the concentration of minorities at the EisenhowerCampus.

3. Have a two-way split of Robbins students between Richards and Shepard,thereby permitting Blue Island Calumet Park students to attendEisenhower.

4. Have a two-way split of Robbins students between Richards and Shepardand a three-way option of Calumet Park students.

5. Have a two-way split of Robbins students between Richards and Shepard,have Hispanic students who live south of Broadway and west of Westernattend Richards and Hispanics living north of· Broadway attend Shepard,and District 132 students attend Eisenhower.

Response:Item #'s 3, 4, and 5 require redistricting of the community of Robbins.

20


Robbins was redistricted in 1970 in order to reduce minority segregationbetween Eisenhower and Richards. Boundaries were altered again in 1975with the opening of the Shepard Campus. Of. the more than 700 District218 students who live in Robbins, almost 60% already attend Shepard,Richards, or PIE. It would seem that the community of Robbins has madeits contribution to desegregation in District 218.

6. Alter the District 218 Plan as proposed 1-11-88 to permit students whoare currently freshmen to continue at Eisenhower.

Response:This would require an additional year to achieve full implementation ofthe plan.

7. Permit siblings of those students currently enrolled in Eisenhower toattend classes in Eisenhower.

Response:Sibling options can sometimes be drawn out for 15 or 20 years.Transportation problems and costs would increase when only a fewCalumet Park students attended Eisenhower.

8. Permit open enrollment of all minority students, District wide, withspecific ceilings of minority students in each building - Eisenhower,Richards, or Shepard - (35% black, 25% other minorities).

Response:The percentages in this alternative are not accurate. District blackenrollment for 1990-91 is projected at 31% and, for other minorities,9.5%. Aside from that, it is believed (as stated in the response toAlternative #2), that open enrollment for minority students would notsignificantly reduce the concentration of minorities at the EisenhowerCampus. If that is the case, the District would still have to require manyminority students (who selected Eisenhower under open enrollment) toattend Richards or Shepard. The problems confronting the Board thenwould be similar to those the Board is facing now.

9. Permit all 132 students to attend school together in either Richards orShepard.

Response:·If all District 132 students were assigned to Shepard the Shepardenrollment would be more than 1,800 in 1990-91. More than 46% of allstudents enrolled at the three campuses would be assigned to Shepard. Ifall District .132 students were assigned to Richards, Richards would be38% black, and 45% minority in 1990-91 while Shepard would be only 15%black and 18% minority.

10 Phase-out utilization of Eisenhower over a four-year period. Send allstudents to Shepard and Richards. Expand PIE to 600 stUdents to behoused in Shepard North.

21


Response:Under this alternative, both Richards and Shepard would have more than1,850 students enrolled in 1990-91. These enrollments would be higherthan any of the campuses at the present time. Additionally, more than800 students who are presently not bused to Eisenhower would have to bebused to either Richards or Shepard.

Mr. Tate said that reference has been made to a written statement that indicatedthat Board Members looked at 15 plans. He said he is sorry if there wasmisinterpretation. He said they were not formal plans - just ideas that camethrough and were rejected as impracticable, impossible, illegal or immoral. Theywere not good solid proposals, and he is sorry if that was the impression given.

Mrs. Allison then questioned Mr. Tate about the statement to which he wasreferring, the article in liThe People's Forum" in the January 21, 1988 issue of theSun Standard: -"We and District 218 administrative staff have examined over 15alternative plans. There has not been any other plan or idea which is animprovement over the plan submitted by the staff of District 218."- Mrs. Allisonasked for clarification - that this statement was not true and that the four BoardMembers who signed this article did not review 15 plans.

Mr. Tate said no four people sat down and examined them; they were just ideasthat were passed to individual Board Members.

Mrs. Allison then asked if the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent had atany time seen or discussed with any four Board Members, or three Board Members,15 alternative plans. Dr. Cartwright said no; there has been only one plandeveloped and refined - the Calumet Park plan. He said a lot of options werediscussed, but at no time were plans discussed with four Board Members.

Mrs. Allison asked Mr. Mullins if he thought the Board was in violation of anypolicies. Mr. Mullins said he didn't think there was any flagrant violation ofpolicies. He said he thought the policies had been followed to a certain extent.

In response to Mrs. Allison's questions about the Chapter I program, Dr. Fellandsaid under the current boundary adjustment plan 65 Eisenhower Chapter I studentswould be transferred to either Shepard or Richards. He said neither schoolqualifies under the Federal guidelines and, therefore, those 65 students in the fallof 1988 would not be served under Chapter I, unless the Board of Educationsupplies the funding for these services.

In regard to #6 of the Calumet Park alternatives - to permit stUdents who arecurrently freshmen to continue at Eisenhower - Mrs. Allison said she wanted to goon record that she feels the rejection of this alternative is educationally unsoundand she doesn't think it is very fair. Mr. Tate then asked Mrs. Allison if she wouldsupport the resolution if it was altered to move just freshmen (1988-89 year).Mrs. Allison responded that she didn't think she would support anything that didnot have an advisory board and community input.

StatementinNewspaper

Questionsand/orCommentsby Mrs.Allison


Mrs. Allison read the following letter addressed to Mr. Tate:

Dear President:

Like other neighbors, I have attended the December 14, 1987 and January 11,1988 Board meetings concerned about the School District 218 remappingplan. As requested I am offering a "rational alternative" to the Board'sremapping plan. I view it as a logical solution to the real problem of thechanges in student population and racial mixture occurring in the eastern andnorthwestern portions of our District.

As an Eisenhower graduate and a taxpayer but most importantly a parent, Ipropose the Board open and expand the high school facility located inCrestwood, formerly known as Southwest and currently called Sauk AreaCareer Center, to serve all or parts of Elementary School Districts 126, 130,143, and 143 1/2.

Thereby easing "overcrowding" adhering to the "State mandate" described inlllinois School Codes 10-21.3 and 10-22.5 and addressing the needs andconcerns of the parents in School District 218.

I must warn you, to consider this suggestion would require you to accept thechallenge of leadership. Issues such as Title One, Special Education, busing,student disruption, personnel relocation, financing, campus populations, andracial balance are among those you must consider.

The commitment to provide and guarantee the highest quality education mustremain our overriding goal, it will be the measure by which your program orany changes will be jUdged.

I should mention that had the Board followed the example and policy of theFederal, State and Local Units of Government in regards to citizenparticipation, the emotional conflict of this issue would never have beencreated. Through group involvement and discussion the Board will find that asatisfactory and appropriate plan can be developed. If it is necessary to makecampus boundary changes it shOUld be based on something other than race. Iam like other parents, prepared to attend meetings and participate indecisions that will affect my children.

Sincerely,

S/Bernard Ward

Mrs. Allison said she wanted to present Mr. Ward's letter as a point of informationand make it a matter of public record. Mr. Tate said he wanted to point out thatDistrict 218 does not own the Sauk Area Career Center.

Mrs. Allison questioned why a statement was made in the newspaper about thepossibility of closing Richards High School and, also, why information waspresented to the Board Members about the savings that woUld be realized if thisschool did close.

23


After discussion Mrs. Allison said she wanted it clarified that the decision to closeOld Main was based on the recommendation of the administrative staff; the staffbrought the information to the Board.

In further commenting about recommendations received by the Board from theadministration, Mrs. Allison said she wanted to go on record as asking theSuperintendent if this (boundary campus adjustments) is coming to the Board for avote with his recommendation. Dr. Cartwright said, "Mary, I don't think in goodconscience rm going to be put in that position." Mrs. Allison then said she felt shecould not vote on anything like this without the Superintendent'srecommendation. She said she has taken his recommendation in the past and shewill take it now; since it is not recommended by the Superintendent, she will notvote for it.

Mrs. Sharon M. Hawkins, from CalUmet Park, read the following statementregarding another alternative plan for Board consideration:

I have an alternative plan which incorporates all of your ideas plus eases theburden of the Cal Park parents.

The hardship you are placing upon us is the travel time. It takes exactlythree times as long to get out to Shepard or Richards as it does toEisenhower. This is relating to our children's extracurricular involvement.Yes, you will provide buses after school, but you are neglecting to considerthe responsibility we parents have to get our children to these events in theevenings, on Saturdays, and on Sundays. To chauffeur our children toEisenhower, home, back up to pick them up and home again is 30 minutestraveling time - approximately 7-8 minutes one way. However, the same tripto Shepard or Richards involves 1-1/2 hours traveling time, approximately 23minutes one way. That's an hour and a half driving after we've worked all dayand have to be up early the next.

Our children cannot even play on the football and basketball teams if we donot have transportation to the school for them on Friday nights and Saturdayafternoons.

All extracurricular activities are very instrumental in the collegesconsidering our children for acceptance. Be it band concerts, drama clubproductions, sports activities, these all involve us parents getting our childrento the school. There are children who do not have transportation available,and I have seen them walking and biking it to Eisenhower in their footballuniforms.

Yet this is what I hear rumored is the sole purpose of your remapping plan.You do not want Cal Park children walking through Blue Island, and this isindicated in your 3-year proposal. It is not a 3-year proposal to ease the CarPark students into the other schools gradually, but rather a 3-year proposal toget all the Cal Park students out of Eisenhower. So I ask you to consider thisalternative which will reflect your real concerns - the best interests of theschool system and of the students - and dispel all negative rumors currentlyexisting.

24

AudienceComments


Bus Cal Park students to Shepard and Richards for their academic subjects,which will ease the overcrowding of classrooms at Eisenhower. It will alsointegrate the other two schools to the percentages your prefer. But let theCal Park kids use Eisenhower for their home school (like the PIE students) forall extracurricular activities where their parents can more easily transportthem or they can even walk. That way you will not be responsible for denyingany child participation in the extracurricular activities that could get themtheir college scholarships.

Will you seriously consider this alternative before voting on your remappingproposal?

Will you actually consider voting on this proposal?

Mrs. Hawkins' then submitted this written proposal to the Board, and there wassome discussion regarding it.

Audience members continued to address the Board. They gave opinions and askedquestions regarding the Board Members, the School Board election, the proposed"campus boundary adjustments" plan and any other proposals that may have beenstudied, busing and the length of transportation time, the Chapter I and Bilingualprograms and the possibility of losing Federal funding, community input, anddetachment from District 218.

Mrs. Christianson said she is making a motion and is asking her fellow BoardMembers to support her. Shesaid her motion is that the Board sit here all night,as long as the people want to stay and talk. Mrs. Allison seconded this motion.There was discussion.

I come before you tonight to present you with petitions signed by those peoplewho support the new remapping plan. This board has heard from many peoplewho oppose the plan; I am here to tell you that there are people who reside inthis district who do support the plan.

During the past few months, many things have been said about the plan andwhether or not it is necessary. On November 3, 1987 the people of thisdistrict had the opportunity to voice their concern about the district. Theconcern was voiced when 4 people were elected to the board from theEisenhower area. The past boards did not address the issue of overcrowdingand an overabundance of minorities at one school. Many of the past boardmembers knew of this problem because they were told by people of our areawhen they asked our support to elect them. Those people did not get theproblem resolved, so they worked within the system and voted for individualswho would address the problem at the next election. To my knowledge, at no

time did they ask for a recall of school board officials. They instead waitedfor election day to voice their concern. This process has served this countryfor 200 years and is the basis of our government.

This board now has a unique challenge before it. Do you go forward in thepositive sense, or do you become stagnant? Many critical items will requireyour attention in the next couple of years, i.e., a new superintendent whomust guide and direct this district and its educational process, decliningdollars from the government (state, county and federal), the Sauk AreaCareer Center status, continuing enrollment decline, curriculum changes,staff moves and, most important, the responsibility of educating our children.

If society is to survive, education is going to be the bridge that reaches acrossthe barriers of rich and poor, races, creeds, nationalities, and even agefactors. This district can be the catalyst by which our area can becomesomething greater than it currently is. We ask that you accept this challengeand be the type of leaders we need.

Respectfully yours,

SjDonald E. PeloquinMayor

Mayor Peloquin then presented to. the Board a copy of his letter and the petition,signed by approximately 1,650 residents. The petition read as follows:

REMAPPING OF THE DISTRICT

We, the undersigned, residents of School District 218 support the Board ofEducation in its efforts to provide quality education for all students inDistrict 218 through remapping of the district.

Mrs. Allison responded by saying that she wanted it inthe record that in the past she has not been allowed to answer questions; she wasinstructed that the president of this Board would answer all questions.

She saidshe has no problem with this, but she did have a problem in the past when herrepresentation was taken away from her. She said she would try to answer thequestion by saying we don't only try to improve Eisenhower, we try to daily,weekly, and monthly improve all of our buildings. She mentioned curriculumimprovements, teacher in-service days, in-house testing for students, and studentworkshops to improve ACT test scores. There was further discussion and Dr.Felland responded to the curriculum questions.
