Keep Our Kids in Waterbury
The District 20 School Board has proposed making Waterbury School a K-2 school, thus forcing our 3rd through 5th graders to attend Greenbrook Elementary. Greenbrook is a school that has consistently failed to meet the minimum levels of the Illinois Standardized Achievement Test. This move would also force Roselle students who usually walk to school to be bused out of town to Greenbrook.
Why is this important?
Our community is proud of our children and our school. Why should we bus our children 3 miles to another school? Why should our children spend 45 minutes on a bus when most of us walk or can drop them off quickly? What about our children's feeling of security knowing they will be at one school for grades K-5. Our children love their school and teachers and would be upset that they have to be apart from their siblings. Many of us moved into this District because Waterbury is K-5. Let's keep our community, families and school together at Waterbury!
