During tho man was Madam upon procuring legislation for tho pupae of now-ting the district, it III suc- lutod that the problon be solved by the erection by District 113 ot the [do Fond. High School tad the operation by the Dintrict of tho two schools in lieu of addi- tion- to Deerneld-tNeids Town- ship High School. This In screed to by all portio- and efforts to obtain legislation for agitation ended. An n result of tho under- ‘mnding of 1933, the Wye” of the entire District 113 have paid for Luke Forest High School, on which there remains . relative- ly minor bonded indebtedneln. In 1934 after construction of the new [Aka Forest High School was begun, nine sections of Shields Township including lake Bluff, which Ind heretofore eomprised I part of a non high school dis- trict, likewise elected to attach to District. IIS, which new con- sista,of Deerfield Township and substantially nil of Shields Town- Ihip. In 1986 the name of Deer- neid-Shieldss Township High School wu changed to and now in Highllnd Eire High School. The We Forest. High School was opened in 1935; its mount enrollment in 425 students. Chil- dren from the northern portion of the District. have continued to have available to them the adv-need vocational training facilitieo of Highlnnd Park High School and‘ each year several students fromr the northern portion have chosen to enroll in Highlnnd Park High School for that. purpose. In addi- tion to making the exits facilities of the larger Highland Park High School available to all, the opera- tion of both schools in one District has made it possible to solve cer- tain difficulties which have arisen from time to time by transferring children from one nhool to the other. ‘ We do not propose to dispose of the petition on technical grounds and we expressly do not pus upon the jurisdictional quea- tions raised atrthe hearing nor upon the sufficiency of the peti- tion. However, We must state that we believe that the petitioners have not complied with the legal requirements of the applicable statutes. Among our reasons for such belief are: Many signatures to the petition are illegible. The! petitioners have not established: (1) the number of legal voters in the area sought to be detached, (2) that all of the persons who signed the petition are legal vot- ers in that area or (3) that the petition was signed by two-thirds} of the legal voters in that area.‘ The affidavit of Mr. Charles F., Clarke. attached to the petition. no" not expressly state that the [signatures affixed to the petition ‘are signatures of tum-thirds of the legal voters in the are}: sought lto be detached. At the hearing er. Clark was asked, "Mr. lcurkc, was it intended by that laffidavit to state that the signa- gtun-s were signnlurcs of lugul (voters, in the area sought to be 'Hetachel?". He answered, “Noth- ( in; was intended except what WIS }stated and I read it in the record i and will be glad to road it again." % (Transcript page 32) The Trustees of schools must lave discretion in acting upon petitions such as this, otherwise the Lerislntum would not have imposed upon them the duty to grant or refuse the payer of the petitioners for detachment. Mindy.1xl.lib-illh -dg-"attHCmrrseit nod-cu to City lull a I“ In passing upon the petition, the primary consideration is, and must be, the educational benefit or detriment to the children who are in what is now Srhool District "3. Public interest must prevail over private convenience. The tendency of'lllinnis legisla- tion during the past decnde has been to encourun- reduction of the number of school districts and to eonsolidtste school districts and not to creme new districts. A: I result of recently enacted legislation and county surveys, the number of uhool distrieta in the) state his decreased from more' than 12.000 to le- than 5.800 It the - time. and the Stat.

Such use. are blood upon the value " taxpayer’s prop-m; they how - been based upon the number of taxpayer’s child!- of school age or the number actually unending public schools. Hence railroads. public utilities. business corporations. trusts. bachelors sad spinners an re- quired to my school taxes um though they hove no children, sad the parent who sends his child to public school pays no more school ‘taxes than the parent. whose chil- idren are beyond school no or st, tend private schools The 'value at tho taxpayer’s property and not the number of hia'childm att-d. ing school must. be, and always has been. tho basis for taxation far school purposes. To levy school taxes on any other hauls would make it impossible to pro- vide {tee and equal public school education. Various fitrurers purporting to) show amount-I paid no high school um and con. of educating un- dents in the various mu hare been presented by petitionen and by opponent: of the petition. It is difficult to reconcile the-e fit uree. Both hides make Assumptions which my be logically defended but they do not - upon the assumptions to ho made. How- ever. I metal earnminatirm of tho figures nukes it char that lake Forest pays more than the coat. of educating Luke Forest children actually unending me Forest. High School and that High- land Park paya either the can or slightly more or slightly le- than the con. of educating Highland Park children actually attending Highland Park high achool; in any event the average or underage in not substantial. Big-hwood, Deerfield and certain other high school areas in the district pay substantially less than the cost. of educating their high school stu~ dents. If .we assume that the‘ number of children of high Ichool age (disregarding whether such children-attend public or private schools) in tho area sought to be detached is proportionately the name as in the remainder of the district, then the timezone. in taxes paid is ahontoqual to the amount by which the per capita average assessment of property in Lake Forest is - then in Highland Park. The additional taxes paid by Lake Forest appear, therefore, to be due to"the higher taxable property values in the are: sought to be detached and not to any inequities in the tax (scheme. There has been no showing that the present area of Diatrict 113 is too large for efficient operation or that students in either the northern area or southern area would be benefitted by neparatiori. A: above stated, the primary con- aideration is and -rnust be the educational benefit or detriment to the children of the entire dis) trict. Upon whom taxes {all is secondary. There is no evidence that children would be helped by the petitioned separation. On the contrary, if the principle of sep- aration under these circumstances is established, children in low property value districts will be ‘hurt. for state aid (to which the petitioners referred at the hear- ing) would give only minimum help. State aid amounts to only $7 per pupil and there is no pros- pert of any increase: it would be completely insufficient to main- tain the present high standard of the district. The vocational training course: offered " the Highland Park high school. which have set the stand. lrd for lllinoix. Ire available to students throughout the district and mlny students in the north- ern portion have token advantage of them. Still.“ high schools can- not offer such vocational "silk ine, which is invaluable, ponie- ulnrly to students who do not ex- Peet to “and college. The per- conuge of students who wish to take such mum: is small. A high school with on enrollment much under one thousand cannon. afoul to furnish nth mining bee-us. tho coat per pupil would be high ‘if only a complain” to" ppm enrolled.
