May 22, 2025 - 02:37
In a recent decision, the D112 Board of Education voted against Glenbrook's proposal to withdraw from the regional special education cooperative known as TrueNorth. Superintendent Michael Lubelfeld expressed deep concern over the increasing trend of school boards contemplating similar withdrawals. He described this phenomenon as a “frighteningly significant” issue that could have serious implications for special education services across the region.
The TrueNorth cooperative has been instrumental in providing essential resources and support to students with special needs. Lubelfeld emphasized the importance of collaboration among school districts to ensure that all students receive the necessary assistance and educational opportunities. The board's decision reflects a commitment to maintaining a robust network of support for students requiring special education services.
As discussions continue about the future of regional cooperatives, the D112 Board remains vigilant in advocating for the needs of its students and the educational community at large. The outcome of this vote highlights the complexities involved in managing special education resources effectively.
