Grayslake High School District 127 School Board election

There are 4 candidates running for 3 positions. The Daily Herald has endorsed Tom Meskel and Thomas G. Halloran.

Incumbent Tom Meskel is a strong member of the board who is both fiscally conservative and an innovator willing to explore creative ideas, such as a wind farm that can generate revenue and be a learning tool used in science classes.

Halloran has two sons at Grayslake Central and has been heavily involved in the Colts football organization.

Halloran is endorsed because, as more of students’ education needs are linked to technology, the board would benefit from his technical expertise. Halloran also is a fiscal conservative who is dedicated to finding ways to bring more technology into the classroom without asking for more taxpayer money. Neither Russell Chamberlin nor Suzanna Swanson, the two remaining candidates, chose to participate in the endorsement process so they cannot be endorsed.

You can read more about current board member, Tom Meskel in past articles here. I would not consider Meskel a fiscal conservative given past votes for exceeding voter approved referendums, debt limits and the high bid for artificial turf.
