Illinois Citizens for Better Schools Endorses 4 for Future 146 Slate
Electing the 4 for Future 146 is the best bet for maintaining the high quality schools that parents and students in CCSD 146 have become accustomed to over the years.
Chicago – Today Illinois Citizens for Better Schools issued their first candidates ever by announcing their support for the 4 for the Future 146 slate of Julie Jackson, John Carey, Dennis Ryan, and Vince Aiello. Ms Jackson, Mr. Ryan, and Mr. Carey are running for re-election, while Mr. Aiello is a challenger. On April 9th, district voters will elect four candidates to the school board.
“The incumbents on this slate have an excellent track record of working to keep CCSD 146 ahead of the curve on important issues such as implementation of the Common Core State Standards and hiring excellent teachers and retaining them,” said Joshua Kilroy, Chair of Illinois Citizens for Better Schools and a veteran political consultant. “Mr. Aiello will be a welcome addition to the Board as they work to maintain the District’s reputation for providing a strong education to their students.”
Kilroy continued by noting that there are a lot of pressures on school districts, “With the implementation of a new teacher evaluation system and the Common Core at a time when state aid is being slashed, never has proven veteran leadership been more important. ICBS is proud to support this slate of dedicated community members and public servants. We encourage local voters to go to their website, 4for146.com for more information.”
