BERWYN C.A.R.E.S. TO HOST TOWN HALL MEETING TO DISCUSS TEST SCORES

Berwyn Public Library

Background: On October 30th the State Board of Education released school report cards for each public school in the state of Illinois. In an effort to provide clarity to parents and local residents, each year Berwyn CARES prepares a summary of school report card data for Berwyn's 13 schools along with an analysis of where each school ranks within the State of Illinois.

“In 2009 when school report cards were released, Berwyn CARES summarized the data, ranked the schools and surveyed local superintendents for feedback which we published on our Web site. With community concern for our schools growing, this year on December 7th we are hosting a town-hall style meeting to address the ‘State of the Test Scores’. Last year, both District 100 and 201 participated in our survey,
and this year, we hope to have all three districts participate at the meeting,” said Shelley Titzer, outgoing President of Berwyn CARES.
