CITIZEN VOTER GROUP ENDORSEMENT OF
SCHOOL DISTRICT CANDIDATES
Lake
Bluff
School District
taxpayers face a watershed opportunity on April 9th to elect four new
members of the elementary school board. We have previously strongly endorsed the
four candidates who were competitively vetted and selected by the LB caucus, and
do so again. Previous e-mails and other communications have addressed our
reasons for doing so. The candidates endorsed are the caucus choices, in the
order in which they appear on the ballot:
CHRIS
LETCHINGER
#1
RICH
HEGG
#2
JOHN
MAROZSAN
#3
JULIE
GOTTSHALL
#5*
(*Please
note that the above caucus candidates are not positioned contiguously as
a slate)
We
have previously reported on the debacle surrounding the financing of the
elementary school building. The unconventional repayment schedule will cost
taxpayers an additional $5 million
over the life of the debt.
Academic performance in MS Math is not up to
expectations of a top ES program, as evidenced by the designation of our
district as failing to make Adequate
Yearly Progress in the 2012 Illinois Report Card.
Should any readers desire more information of
the above, please let us know by reply e-mail. We are pleased to share the
backup specifics with any voters who ask.
The above
candidates have declared themselves committed to
“Academics + Accountability”. We are
completely convinced that they will, given the opportunity to function as a
team, seriously address these and other issues in an open and collaborative
fashion. They will make a
difference.
We ask for your vote to set
this in motion.
Respectfully,
Concerned
