THANK YOU!

Statement from Kevin M. Trezak, Superintendent of River Forest Community School Corporation

​

I want to take a moment to give a huge “thank you” to the voters of River Forest Community School Corporation who supported the referendum. I am so proud that the voters in our community know and understand the value of a strong commitment to our students through wise investment. I also understand this was a difficult decision for many voters – your commitment and sacrifice are truly appreciated!

​

River Forest Community School Corporation has done everything possible to be good stewards of your tax dollars, including making spending decisions that have allowed us to realize almost two million dollars in annual spending savings while saving millions of dollars since 2021. These conservative practices have resulted in an A+ rating from S&P Global for financial management in both 2025 and 2026. River Forest stands with some of the top school corporations in the state in earning an A+ rating.

​

We owe it to the future leaders and citizens of our community (our young people) to give them the best possible shot at growing and prospering. The renewal of the referendum at a lower rate will do its part to aid in that growth and prosperity.

At River Forest, I’m proud that so many are willing to do just that: make our current and future students into successful and responsible adults, taxpayers, and neighbors who value our region and reinvest themselves into our great community. Thank you again!

Your Partner in Education,
