CARE: Citizens Against the 112 Referendum
February 9, 2016
The District 112 School Board has stated time and again in the last few months that there are no other options for reconfiguration–except for their plan to borrow $198 million to build a single big box middle school. This astronomical cost to our community has been reinforced by the threat of premature school closures–all to scare the community into voting yes.
