District 65 Revises Boundary Proposal, Restoring Foster Elementary's Current Attendance Area

Evanston/Skokie School District 65 has released its third version of proposed attendance boundaries for the 2027-28 school year. This latest proposal notably restores Foster Elementary School to its current attendance area, a change from previous versions. The new boundaries were communicated to the community on a Friday afternoon, alongside an announcement that the board's vote on a proposed budget plan and school closure process would be delayed from Monday to November 16. Interim Superintendent Eric Witherspoon stated that the revised proposal incorporates additional community feedback and ongoing review by the district's team. This version follows two earlier proposals from October 13 and 23, which were introduced after the district announced its budget plan would involve closing Lincolnwood and Dewey elementary schools. The current proposal is projected to impact 630 students from kindergarten through fourth grade, a reduction from the 713 students affected by the initial proposal.
