C4KE's Recommended Candidates

 We are recommending the following 4 candidates for the April 4, 2023 District 211 Board of Education election. These recommendations are based on the responses we received to our C4KE questionnaire, the incumbents' voting records while serving on the board, answers given at the 1/28 candidate forum, and personal interviews.

These are the only candidates committed to work with you and for you!
