As Evanston/Skokie District 65 looks to redistrict school attendance zones, one option on the table will apparently be changing the mix of grades in buildings.

As Evanston/Skokie District 65 looks to redistrict school attendance zones, one option on the table will apparently be changing the mix of grades in buildings.
Currently, the district’s 10 elementary schools are grades K-5, and the three middle schools are grades 6-8.
During a Board of Education meeting Monday night, Board member Suni Kartha asked Superintendent Devon Horton if the idea of switching schools to perhaps grades K-2 in some buildings, 3-5 in others, and then 6-8 might be on the table.
