The Daily Herald has interviewed the Grayslake Elementary School Board Candidates on the issue of returning the $6.9 million dollars they borrowed above and beyond what the voters approved.

Their quotes are below:

          

Grayslake Elementary District 46′s decision to reject a planned tax rebate of $6.9 million gets a thumbs-down from candidates in the April 17 election.

If elected, the candidates say they would push for the school board to restudy the issue or provide a thorough explanation to the community on what happened.

    Curious…why did you close comments on the Herald Endorsement post and why did you leave this piece out if the post?

    “The district long has been hampered by strong residential growth on one end of the spectrum, but little business growth at the other, making for a hefty burden on taxpayers. Despite that problem as well as a history of crowding, program cuts and short spans for superintendents, residents have five solid candidates stepping up to run for three open seats on the board.”
