Will we ever learn? I wonder. In this holiday season, I challenge the USD 112 BOE to be the modern day wise men/women in making the final decision on closing Wilson Jr/Sr High School. May you also follow the Star of Bethlehem. God expects us to look up to him, not to raise ourselves up by knocking others down. Your actions seem to be focused on an unsustainable short path solution. Whom have you counseled to test your theories about the long-term stability of your plan? Have you used the information from the KASB Configuration Study (June 2021), plus sought out additional professional help from the KASB or KSDE? This could be beneficial for the longevity of the entire district. So much is at stake. Don’t neglect to explore, seriously, all other scheduling options, before finalizing this extremely important decision.
