Are the Kids Alright? The Academic Learning Crisis in Elmhurst Public Schools – Join Wirepoints for an event with EPIC Jan. 11

Join Ted Dabrowski in Elmhurst for a special event all about Illinois’ failed education system.

For more than a year, Elmhurst Parents for Integrity in Curriculum (EPIC) has been raising awareness about curriculum and falling academic proficiency in Elmhurst public schools. The administration and board of education have aggressively pushed back and defended the status quo, insisting that students are on track, progress is being made, and academic proficiency is improving.

The release of the 2022 Illinois Report Card data in October confirmed that academic proficiency in District 205 is, in fact, continuing to drop.

Ted will discuss just how dismal Illinois student outcomes have become while also discussing the following:

  • What the ISBE proficiency data tells parents.
  • What are the core academic curriculum trends?
  • What are the consequences of kids falling behind academically?
  • What are the plans for academic improvement?
  • Who is being held accountable?
  • Why this matters to all parents and community stakeholders?
