Regarding the inquiry by freedomisntfree as to which candidates COSLA is supporting in the upcoming school board election:
The deadline for submitting petitions has not yet passed and COSLA has made no endorsements to date. The complete list of candidates who file petitions for a seat on the Waukegan School Board will not be announced until later this month. As in the last election cycle, COSLA plans to sponsor a public forum to which all candidates whose names are schedulued to appear on the spring ballot will be invited (and encouraged!) to participate in. We look forward to an aggressive and thorough evaluation of all the candidates and hope many in the community will participate in this critical selection process.
