District 65 Board Approves Kingsley Elementary Closure Process
The District 65 school board in Evanston/Skokie voted unanimously to begin the process of closing Kingsley Elementary School, as part of a broader plan to address a significant budget deficit, with hearings scheduled for January and a reevaluation of Lincolnwood Elementary planned for October. The district aims to stabilize finances by meeting specific fiscal and utilization targets, but faces community concerns and debates over the impact of closures.
