If you are white, don’t apply for a teaching job at District 87. Superintendent Dr. Mouser’s will openly discriminate against you:
‘”Operationally and organizationally, the district remains stable and progressing forward. We have successfully negotiated three collective bargaining agreements and continue to maintain excellent relationships with all of our bargaining units. Teacher retention has improved, and Recruitment efforts are ongoing. As part of this work, we have placed an intentional emphasis on diversity, including Focused efforts to recruit, support, and retain teachers and administrators of color so that our staff better reflects the students and community we serve.”

Keep in mind every property government owns means more property taxes are required from the people who pay them. BNWRD has been converting a lot of taxable land to nontaxable lately. Grants are real money that was confiscated from taxpayers, government seems to think it’s free money.
The BNWRD property buying continues, two more at the February meeting: https://blnnews.com/bnwrd-docs/

Early voting is starting much later in Chicago than here. Does Illinois law allow a later start for primaries when most people don’t bother to vote? https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/news/illinois-early-voting-2026-election-chicago/
#1 – Please don’t forget that Mouser the Clown wouldn’t send his own kids to District #87. There was some sort of special consideration to keep his kids in Tri Valley Schools. Mouser transferred from Tri Valley to District #87. Never mind, he sold his home in Downs and moved into Bloomington – so he no longer lived in the Tri Valley School District. I believe his wife worked at the school in some capacity, so that was the reason the Mouser kids were able to continue attending Tri Valley Schools.
Meanwhile, Mouser is fleecing us for his $300,000/year salary & benefits, plus a lifetime of State pension courtesy of us lowly taxpayers!
I wonder if they celebrated MLK Day. He is demanding segregation
Nothing is more racist then the toxic empathy of liberals.
I guess we can speculate about why democrats seem so idiotic, but you can be 100% sure about this – EVERYTHING they do and say boils down to getting their voters to the polls in the next election. Every single thing. And because republicans under Trump have had a good number of successes, (especially the economy) democrat’s ONLY remaining option is to fill their voters with fear. Like a herd of sheep whose shepherd is a wolf.
