LIBERTYVILLE, IL School boards across the Chicago area needed to make many tough decisions this past year during the COVID-19 pandemic. And during this year s local election, there are many packed school board races featuring candidates with differing opinions on remote learning, in-person models and how teaching should ve been handled this past year.
The Libertyville Elementary District 70 school board race includes several candidates who ve pushed for a return to in-person learning. Like many school districts, D70 spent most of the year learning remotely.
There are nine people running for five open seats on the school board. Seven of the candidates are seeking four open seats for a four-year term on the board of education while two candidates are vying for a single two-year term.
