Voters determined this election who will make the important decisions regarding their communities, schools, townships, fire departments, parks and libraries.

This spring, DuPage and Cook county voters get to decide who will make the important decisions regarding their communities, schools, townships, fire departments, parks and libraries.

As school board members it is our role to listen and learn about the environment within both high schools and be there to support policy, educational services and share information with the whole SCD99 community.

Cell phones have a time and a place, and they cannot be eliminated from the educational environment because parents rightfully demand that their children be reachable in the event of an emergency.

I believe our schools should be safe, welcoming environments for all students, regardless of their citizenship status.
