C.O.S.L.A. (Community Organizing for School Leadership Accountability) held its second public Waukegan Board of Education Candidates' Forum on April 2, 2009. After consideration of the answers given by the six candidates who are running for the 4 open seats, members of the C.O.S.L.A steering committee who were present have decided to endorse the slate of Mike Rodriguez, Steven Orusa and Tony Elam. A consensus could not be reached on which of the three long-time incumbents, namely June Maguire, Anita Hanna and Bill Anderson should be endorsed for the fourth open seat.
The steering committee encourages all Waukegan voters to educate themselves about the positions of each of the candidates; those who wish to view the video recording of the forum may do so by visiting the youtube links posted above.
The issues facing our school district and our community are as important as ever - and the voting booth is where accountability happens. Exercise your right and let your voice be heard by voting on April 7, 2009.
