New Faces Needed on Pleasantdale Board

The Doings
April 2, 2009

WILLOW SPRINGS -- It is time to put a new face on the Pleasantdale Board of Education. Two of the incumbents on the board running for re-election will not have any children attending Pleasantdale School. In fact, by the summer, a third board member will also not have any children in the district. We need new people on the board that have our children's best interests in mind.

A school board should be comprised of residents that want to move the district forward because their actions will have a direct impact on the children attending the school. How can the best interest of our children be served when the incumbents have no children going to the school they are governing? I say out with the old and in with the new and elect Michael Rak, Karen O'Halloran, Lauri Valentin and Gina Scaletta-Nelson to the Pleasantdale School Board!
