You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
The Golf school district is named after the original Golf School, and the [[Golf, Illinois|Village of Golf]] that the school originally served. The first Golf School was a prototypical "one room country schoolhouse" that was little more than a wooden shed with windows. It had no electricity or indoor plumbing. The single room was expanded to four, then replaced by a [[Works Progress Administration]]-built concrete and masonry structure capable of serving hundreds of students.

During its time, the original Golf School was very much a rural institution, and presumably the only public-funded institute of primary/secondary education in its area at that time. The [[baby boom]] after [[World War II]] saw the landscape being converted from [[rural]] to [[suburban]], and a sudden [[population growth]]. The Village of Golf was content to remain a hamlet, but the municipalities that surrounded it, Glenview, Morton Grove and Niles, expanded rapidly, consuming all unincorporated land. The prairie, forests and farmland that remained was rapidly developed for housing and shopping.

Hynes Elementary School joined the district in 1957, filling the distance between Golf School and Morton Grove School. In 1961, Golf Junior High School was built on the west side of the Golf School campus (the Golf School building was [[Setback (land use)|set back]] to the northeast corner of the parcel), and Golf School became Golf Elementary School. Shortly thereafter the Golf Junior High School building was expanded with modern, air-conditioned classrooms in the new wing. Golf Junior High School took students from Golf Elementary and Hynes Elementary schools, and sent graduates on to Niles North High School for secondary education.

By 1975 the baby boom population growth of students had turned into a population decline, and downsizing plans were enacted. The c. 1934 Golf Elementary School building was scheduled for demolition with no replacement. Hynes Elementary School became the only elementary school for the district, and Golf Junior High School (grades 6-8) became the 4-year Golf Middle School, accepting grades 5 through 8. The Village of Golf, after which the district was named, decided to send its children to public schools in Glenview.

Before the end of the 20th century the last working farm in District 67, Delaine Farm, had been converted into a housing development. In less than 70 years the demographics of District 67 have changed radically from rural and agrarian to suburban and professional.
