D155 Candidates’ Night Thursday, MCC Next Monday

Signs have popped up for Crystal Lake District 155 High School Board candidates and for three McHenry County College Board aspirants.

You have a chance to see the hjgh school board candidates in action at McHenry County College tonight and those for MCC Trustee next Tuesday night.

The details are below:

  • Thursday, March 19, 2015, 7 – 9 PM will see Crystal Lake High School District 155 Board members face off.
  • There will be a McHenry County College Board candidate forum hosted at MCC on March 23 at 7 PM.

I am always frustrated at these League of Women Voters events because they seem to screen out very important questions, for instance, who will vote not to raise taxes as much as the Tax Cap allows.

  1. Crystal Lake High School District 155 has poor transparency in that they do not videotape school board meetings and thus do not archive the videotapes on their website so residents can watch the school board meetings from home.

    Videotaping meetings also allows one to review what was said at the meeting.

    Videotaping board meetings is an important transparency tool.

    Some school districts videotape board meetings.

    Some do not.

    All should.

    This should be a campaign issue.

    Candidate, if elected will you pledge to support videotaping board meetings.

    Property taxes paid to the school district represent the largest portion of the property tax bill.

  2. Somebody should ask the candidates why next to none of the challengers have bothered to show up to even one D155 meeting.
