Vincent Campuzano, 12, left, and brother Gabriel, 13, are among the few kids in the Timber Trails/Merry Lane subdivision who go to public school. Kids in the neighborhood "look at each other like they're all strangers," said their father, Daniel Campuzano.

About this Article

Residents of an Oak Brook subdivision prevailed in their petition to pull out of Salt Creek Elementary District 48 and DuPage High School District 88 so the neighborhood children aren't "heading in all different directions." Now, though, there's nothing to do but wait as the school districts appeal.
