After agreeing to re-examine the issue of east-side Algonquin residents attending Dundee-Crown High School in Carpentersville instead of Jacobs High School in their town, the Community Unit District 300 Board of Education let the matter die without a vote.
Some east-side Algonquin residents pleaded to reverse a previous decision to change the boundaries for the two schools.
Debbie Sullivan, one such resident, told the board that her 8th-grade son will not be able to attend Jacobs with his friends because his sister will graduate from Jacobs this year. He will not be grandfathered into Jacobs because the board previously voted to only grandfather in students who had an older sibling currently attending the school.
Sullivan said the boundary issue prevented her from supporting the unsuccessful 1999 ballot proposal for an $85 million bond issue that would have funded construction of a new high school.
The board upheld its decision to not make any boundary changes before a possible November ballot proposal.
