Parents Care Updates

This critical update on the D115 Lake Forest Student Arrest explains what District 115 told parents, what public reporting later revealed, and why accountability is now required.

Parents Care’s March 2026 board report covers D67’s academic gains, D115’s canceled March meeting, and new questions about AI, school-year travel, and district priorities.

District 115 informed parents of an arrest but did not disclose that public records reflect a Class X felony charge involving child sexual abuse material. Parents Care explains why families still need answers.

Parents raised concerns about student device use in Lake Forest schools. Here’s what has happened, what research says, and why families want a broader review.

Parents Care exists to cut through spin and share the truth about how our schools are really performing. District 115’s recent email praised Lake Forest High School’s 2025 results — but the full data tell a different story. ACT scores have dropped since 2017, and claims of “improvement” rely on invalid conversions. Our mission is to keep reporting the full picture — honest, factual, and transparent.

The Illinois AG’s PAC ruled Superintendent Matthew Montgomery’s administration violated FOIA by improperly hiding public records. This isn’t a slip-up—it’s a violation of the law. How many times has this happened before, quietly brushed aside? District 67’s talk of “transparency” is a farce. If they can’t follow the law, how can parents trust them with our children?
