Each year, we ask our families to take a few minutes to share feedback through our Parent Engagement Survey. Your voice matters to us. The input we receive from parents and guardians helps us better understand what is working well, where we need to improve, and how we can continue working together to design success for every student.

This year’s survey includes important questions about our school schedule, how we are performing as a district and as individual schools, and what priorities you believe should guide our strategic plan moving forward. Your feedback will help our School Board, district leaders, and school teams make informed decisions that reflect the needs and hopes of our students, families, and community.

We know your time is valuable, but we hope you will take a few minutes to complete the survey. Whether your feedback is about things we are doing well or areas where we can do better, we truly want to hear from you.

Thank you for being an important partner in your child’s education and for helping us continue to improve District 93 schools. As we have shared in past Family Updates, our goal is to listen to families, provide helpful information, and work together in support of our students.

Over the past several weeks, we have shared information about the district’s budget challenges, the budget reductions we are already making, and the purpose of the proposed supplemental levy.

As we have shared, we are facing a budget shortfall primarily caused by declining student enrollment and the state’s return to an attendance-based funding model.

In response, the district has already worked to make $4.2 million in budget reductions for next school year including staffing reductions, compensation adjustments, and reducing technology expenditures.

The proposed supplemental levy would provide $9.6 million per year for two years to help maintain programs and services currently in place in our schools. If the levy is approved, the district will be able to maintain key programs; if it is not approved, additional reductions will be required to balance the district’s budget.

The graphic below provides a quick overview of the key facts related to the levy. Additional information is available at d93.org/levy.

With the opening of a new school and updated attendance boundaries, the district has worked carefully to design a schedule that supports safe, efficient transportation and consistent school routines for students and families.

The updated schedule streamlines elementary start times into three groups, replacing a wider range of start times currently in place. This adjustment allows for improved bus routing and provides drivers with additional time between routes, helping ensure students arrive safely and on time despite increased traffic and growing enrollment.

Under the new schedule:

These changes were developed through collaboration with school leaders and transportation staff, with careful consideration given to instructional time requirements, traffic patterns, and the complexity of running multiple bus routes each day.

While adjustments like these can take time for families to adapt to, the goal remains clear: providing a safe, reliable, and efficient schedule that supports student learning across D93.
