Illinois schools demand local control with dwindling enrollment, achievement scores – Center Square

Chris Janssen, superintendent of Spoon River Valley schools, told ISBE members they’re losing enrollment. “Since the last day of school last year, we have lost approximately 15% of our students and half of those were to home-school situations. I can’t imagine we’re … the only ones in this situation.”

Imagine that. People found out the tripe that was being taught to their children and decided to home school. With a trend like this there won’t be a teacher shortage for long. Let’s loose a few administrators as well.

Just give us the money; prefer cash (used bills only).
