In a letters column Mary and Pat Nordbrock urge a no vote on the November 7 property tax referendum for District 161. They argue permanent funding requires state action and warn current revenue will push homeowner burden while other districts spend more with no guaranteed quality. They advocate shifting to state taxes or Lotto funding to relieve homeowners.
A letter from residents led by Harry P. Gordon argues public schools anchor the community and that recent cutbacks threaten district quality. They urge voters to approve the November 7 referendum to protect future opportunities and property values.
Clare M Charzewski of Olympia Fields endorses Burdell D Chapman for Rich Township High School District 227 board. She criticizes de annexation battles, cites over 300000 in legal costs, and urges voters to elect Chapman for financial stewardship and community listening.
A community letter urges passage of the District 161 referendum citing a tradition of high achievement and prudent budgeting while facing a 3.5 million revenue shortfall from reduced state aid and tax relief measures. It notes per pupil spending remains below state averages as achievement far surpasses benchmark norms and appeals to continued local support.
A reader accuses the Star of slanted reporting and defends records of a Disorderly Conduct charge involving Stephen Campbell. He recounts harassment calls, mediation, and an agreement with Campbell, criticizing political motives and calling for trust in local institutions. The letter closes with a school play note from Catherine Fitzgerald.
