Following a recent forum for candidates running for school board seats, Pioneer Press asked Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 officials about some candidate claims of poor student academic performance and about district property tax rates and fund balances (reserves). In that forum, some candidates questioned the district's substantial reserve funds at the same time the district levied a 5 % increase in the property tax on Elmhurst homeowners. Several candidates also claimed overall student performance is in the 50 % range.
