The problem is education in those buildings is not so great. Renovated facilities alone will not solve that problem.

Of course facilities alone won't fix every challenge that Ravenswood District faces. I don't hear anyone making that case. Fortunately Ravenswood District leadership is also working on improving salaries and housing access to attract and retain good teachers. We can help by supporting their below-market-rate housing plans for Flood School and rejecting the ballot initiative designed to block this effort.
