As a follow-up to our initial candidate questionnaires, Evergreen Park Patch asked the candidates of District 124 Board of Education a few issue-based questions to get a more in-depth view of them.
Eight candidates are campaigning for three seats on the Village of Evergreen Park Elementary School District 124 Board of Education. Kimberly Panico Leonard answers a few issue-based questions about the school district, consolidations and its relationship with other area schools. Do you think Districts 124 and 231 should combine? In order to make that type of change you need to be well informed of the possible outcomes. Research about combining school districts is a huge process that would need to be done by a qualified research company to ensure all aspects are considered.

Dawn Doyle McNamara answers a few issue-based questions about the school district, consolidations and its relationship with other area schools. Do you think Districts 124 and 231 should combine? I am all for District 124 and 231 consolidating. I have said that for years. I believe it is in the best interest for the children and the taxpayers. Unfortunately, I have heard that the teachers from EPCHS don't believe our children are ready for high school. If we were combined, we would all be on the same page. Also from a financial stand point it just makes sense, one superintendent for 6 schools is more than …

It's about time Joan Boss got off that board! it's hard to believe that she is in education since she is so ANTI-teacher in district 124. I wonder if her colleagues in the Oak Lawn schools know how she feels about teachers. Bet not. As for Flanagan, how about maybe a little investigation as to why he quit with 4 months left on his term. As my mother use to say, "anyone can do anything for four … more ›
