Woodridge School Officials: Public Forums Set to Gain Insight on Issue 10 Failure

, the proposed 6.83-mill, five-year emergency levy failed on March 6 by 249 votes. Question is, why?

To get some real answers, Superintendent Walter Davis has suggested a short series of public forums to be held starting at the end of the month. 

Davis wants the voters who sided against the levy, in particular, to attend the forums to find out why they voted no.

Three forums have been set so far at varying times and locations and are as follows:

• March 27 - 5-6 p.m., Woodridge High School Library
• March 29 - 7-9 a.m.,
• March 29 - 7-9 p.m., Peninsula Library

Tammy Heffernan, president of the Woodridge Board of Education, has voiced concern that the no-voters won't participate if Davis and treasurer Deanna Levenger are present, according to a March 18 Falls News Press post. 

However, it's not yet clear how the meetings will be set up or which school officials will attend, said Heffernan during a phone interview on Monday afternoon. 

To the no-voters, do you think you'll attend one of the scheduled forums? Why or why not?
