Letter from Nancy Kalchbrenner
I am not running for School Board this April but I am asking for your support for Jude Makulec who is running in sub-district D.
Jude has been a very involved and active parent in District 205. She has also shown her commitment to public education for all children by serving on numerous committees through the years. Jude is smart, does her homework, and never shies away from making her feelings known and seeking answers and solutions. She has shown a deep concern for our school district and community and a willingness to do the work necessary to improve them.
I am proud of what the Board has helped to accomplish over the last eight years. The hard work and difficult decisions have re-established our financial footing and begun much needed work in aligning curriculum across the District, setting clear and high expectations for discipline and achievement, as well as developing alternative programs to better serve all students. That work can continue with dedicated school board members who understand the need for the Board and Administration to work together and engage all of the stakeholders in improving our schools.
The election is April 7, 2009. Jude has an opponent so support will be critical to be sure this sub-district is well represented. Please consider supporting her campaign financially and/or by requesting a yard sign or helping to distribute information.
I thank you for your support over the years and encourage you to continue supporting public education in our community. It is critical for the future of Rockford and our region.
Sincerely,
Nancy Kalchbrenner
President – District 205 School Board
