After stopping a community survey in its tracks last month “to re-evaluate for clarity and use of an equity lens,” as Superintendent Devon Horton said, the financially strapped Evanston/Skokie School District is once again asking for public input on future budget cuts.
But this latest survey is different in several ways than the one which was “paused.”
First of all, the new survey is in part a “School Finance 101” tutorial, with information about how the district gets its money, and questions about how aware survey respondents are of those sources.
