It’s beyond time for Community Unit School District 220 to get back to the business of providing the best education possible for the vast majority of students. We believe Leonard Munson, Katey Baldassano and Matt Sheriff are the best qualified to set 220 back on that course.
In their own words, here is why they are running for seats on the CUSD 220 Board of Education:
Leonard Munson: “I love the Barrington Community and the District 220 school system. I’m here to support all the teachers and students, and I’ve been doing that since 2005 by coaching and talking with hundreds of parents. Unfortunately, most of them are not feeling confident with the current school board direction and the candidates up for Reelection. In my opinion, the board isn’t functioning properly or fulfilling the needs of the students, community, district administration or teachers. So, I want to restore balance to the board and make sure every student from kindergarten to grade 12 gets the attention and respect they deserve. Plus, I want to bring back excellence in education, listen to parents and be a responsible caretaker of taxpayers’ money.”
Katey Baldassano: “I am running for school board in District 220 to bring more voices into the conversation. The last several years has left many parents feeling like their voice and feedback has been disregarded and that has only divided our community more. A career educator, I love schools, I love teachers and I love seeing students learn. I am running to ensure that the Barrington School Board can work to serve all students, rather than make decisions based on individual board members’ personal agendas.”
Matt Sheriff: “I am running to be the voice of our community. I have witnessed extremely poor leadership and seemingly lack of common sense from some board members over the last few years. They push personal agendas and ignore the wants and needs of the community. I am motivated by a sense of community and a desire to represent the voice of our children and taxpayers.”
We wholeheartedly support these candidates in their desire to restore the CUSD 220 Board of Education set on one goal of always seeking the best for students, educators and parents.
We encourage you to learn more about Leonard, Katey and Matt here, and ask you to support them with your vote.
