The League of Women Voters (LWV) and Friends of Brennemann are sponsoring a non-partisan Chicago Public School (CPS) Board of Education Candidate Forum on Monday, September 30 at 6:00 p.m. at Brennemann School. The forum will also be live streamed at facebook.com/lwvchicago

Many people are not aware that the CPS school board has always been appointed. The state legislature passed a law that the school board has to eventually be fully elected, and the transition to a fully-elected school board is beginning with our November 5th election when half the CPS School Board will be elected.

CPS divided the city into 10 districts for this election; we are in District 4. Our district has the highest number of candidates of any district, and one person from each district will win the election.

FOB and LWV put this non-partisan forum together to bring more light to this important election. Please join us on Monday so that you can be a more informed voter in our upcoming election.

Friends of Brennemann Board Members,

Sue Levine-Kelley, Jenny Maraccini, Jane Sebastian, Lucy Tuck, Lisa von Drehle
