Local elections can be lost and won by a single vote. Ensure your candidate’s success by doing your part. Vote and encourage a friend to join you.
We’ve recently seen an issue facing a neighboring school playing out in the national news where, at Deerfield’s Shepherd Middle School, a mother claims her daughter and several of her classmates were forced by school officials to change in a locker room in front of a student who is biologically a boy.
These social issues are not unique to Deerfield and can easily be played out at D220. We need strong school and library boards ready to stand up for the students and families of D220.
Two years ago, a school board candidate (seen at top) stood on the street holding a sign with his highest priority message he wanted to convey for his reelection. The result? Libraries with pornography, tampons in boy’s bathrooms and lower reading and math scores.
We know from past board meetings and candidate forums that these priorities are shared by current school and library board members and candidates.
For reasons set forth in our earlier endorsements, the best choice for common sense values and for candidates best able to face these challenges are Steve Wang, Katie Karam and Deanna Stern (for D220), and Joseph Bosnick and Erin Matta (for BAL).
Make a plan and get yourself to your polling place.
