The article says it was organized in 1951 by the voters residing in the ninety square mile area of New Lenox Township, Illinois. However, there are a few problems with this.
- New Lenox Township is currently a piped link to the village of New Lenox, Illinois and the two are not the same. Wikipedia does not currently have articles on townships in Illinois.
- New Lenox Township is not ninety square miles--it is a more or less standard survey township of about 36 square miles. The school district area also includes all (or most) of Frankfort Township to the east and a large portion of Manhattan Township to the south and a tiny portion of Jackson Township on the southwest.
- The article says The absence of a high school created a considerable inconvenience for the four communities, but does not clearly say what those four communities are. The district web site confusingly contains the same sentence (copyvio anyone?) but also says the district serves FIVE communities: Frankfort, Manhattan, Mokena, New Lenox, & Tinley Park--and the district map shows it also includes a small portion of Orland Park. I'm guessing that the sentence refers to Frankfort, Manhattan, Mokena, New Lenox since those four communities are entirely included in the district, while only portions of Tinley Park and Orland Park are in the district.
Finally, considering that most of this appears to be copied verbatim from the district web site [2], if the article survives VfD it should be listed on Copyright problems unless it is completely rewritten (and don't assume that everything on the District web site is necessarily 100% accurate in every detail either). older≠wiser 13:29, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
