USD 113 initiated the discussion of transfer of territory with a written proposal to each of the three school districts, accompanied by an explanation for suggested transfer. Evans said, “The USD 113 board is sensitive to the request that residents have representation in the school district in which their children attend school. Our proposal to each of the districts focused on this goal. However, none of the districts were willing to discuss, school district to school district, reasonings for their demands.” (from August 31, 2023 press release)
The collective opinion of the USD 113 Board of Education is that our district is under attack from both outsiders and neighbors. We believe this for a number of reasons, but significantly the three neighboring districts have requested more than 40% of USD 113’s total square miles. In the 2022-23 school year, Wetmore Attendance Center students accounted for less than 12% of the district’s headcount, and now neighboring districts are seeking to annex 40% of Prairie Hills territory. This seems unjust. In addition, as we analyze this complex situation it appears that outside interest groups may mysteriously be involved. This involvement is especially concerning because it may indicate a larger agenda than we are struggling with locally. (taken from USD 113 BOE letter to patrons of USD 113)
