In Algonquin-based Community Unit District 300, eight candidates filed for four 4-year terms.
Nancy Zettler is seeking her second term, and Stephen Fiorentino is seeking his fourth term on the board.
Like other suburban school districts, District 300 has had its share of criticism regarding masking mandates, curriculum, taxes and other issues. Most recently, an LGBTQIA+ student group came under scrutiny by some parents.
Parent Randi Gauthier, who is a member of a recently formed LGBTQIA+ parent advisory council, said she is seeking a spot on the board to further equity and inclusivity measures.
In a social media post, candidate Kristina Konstanty said she opposes tax increases and supports parental rights and involvement.
Olutola “Tola” Makinde, Laurie Parman, Robert Reining and Connie Cain also are vying for one of the 4-year terms on the District 300 board.
