Alessio for Dist. 300 school board

Posted April 02, 2009 11:00 pm

The next couple of years will be pivotal in District 300. Ken Arndt is leaving, the teachers' contract will be up, and the current state of the economy threatens to undercut all of the curricular and financial gains that we have made in the past couple of years.

Now, more than ever, we need strong members on our board of education. That is why I am backing Dave Alessio.

Dave is an honest, engaged member of our school community with real expertise in school finance. He has years of experience on various district committees and was even an interim board member in 2006. But most important, he is a parent of kids in District 300 schools and a property owner here. In short he is an honest, experienced stakeholder and just who we parents need to represent us on the board.
