Fall elections

The nomination period for school board trustees is just around the corner, and I'm thinking of throwing my hat into the ring again.  When I was a School District 57 trustee from 2011-2014, we faced different challenges than schools face now, but also many that are the same. School board trustees have an important job to promote public education, advocate for all of the stakeholders in education especially the ones that have a hard time being heard, and ensure that the school system is serving the needs of students effectively and responsibly.  I believe that one of the roles of a trustee was to ask good questions about that. This was something I was good at, and if I give this another try it will be something I do again.
