    This is a pretty shameless pitch since I obviously have strong feelings about the amendment, but I hope all interested CSD parents and Decatur taxpayers come out tonight to hear the discussion. The ballot language in no way addresses what’s at stake. Early voting started today, so before you vote, learn more about Amendment #1.

    This is at the Westchester location, yes?

    I’ll chime in to agree with Margaret on one thing – hoping that all interested parents and taxpayers come out and get educated on the issue and hear the discussion. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
