(Cook County document) OAK LAWN, IL — School board elections hardly ever get attention, but it's worth taking the time to learn about them, if only because our public schools receive more of our property taxes than any other local taxing body. This is especially true at CHSD Dist. 218, which includes Richards, Eisenhower and Shepard High Schools as well as the Delta and Summit Learning Centers. The district is headquartered in Oak Lawn and Oak Lawn accounts for the majority of the D218's population (about 20%), with the rest split among 10 other south suburban communities. Yet despite this, State Rep. Bob Rita (Blue Island) is trying to take control of Dist. 218, which should concern every honest and hard-working citizen in communities served by the high school district.
