Palm cards were the order of the day for non-incumbent District 300 candidate Dorota Jordan at the Science Fair held at Hampshire High School recently.
Here’s what it looks like. First the front:
Now the back:
The following press release has arrived announcing the candidacy of Dorothy Jordan for the Carpentersville District 300 School Board:
Dorota A. Jordan (Dorothy), a resident of Pingree Grove, Ill., announced her candidacy for the Community Unit School District 300 School Board.
“I look forward to assisting in the additional work that needs to be done in the areas of student curriculum and development within the district. With D300 managing a tight financial budget, the challenge will be to support the academic growth of the district without compromising student achievement,” she said.
A Chicago native, Jordan moved to the western suburbs over 16 years ago and has been a resident of the District for over 2 years now. She commented, “As part of a new chapter in my life, supporting and advancing education in my community is integral.”
Jordan received her B.A. in Business Administration from DePaul University in 2002 and a Master of Arts in Secondary Education from Roosevelt University in 2008. She is a certified social studies teacher and is fluent in the Polish language.
A first generation American, Jordan has worked hard to achieve her goals with the love and support of her entire family.
“My husband and children have been very understanding and encouraging of my educational and professional goals,” she said.
Jordan is sensitive and understanding of bi-lingual families, having grown up herself as the primary translator for her parents.
“I appreciate the effort that D300 has made in communicating with bi-lingual families,” she said. “I would like to see a stronger showing of parents supporting their children’s education.”
She believes student achievement will improve when parents and community members become involved.
Jordan hopes to bring to the District a unique melding of business and education at a time when District 300 is shifting gears to cultivate a strong academic environment.
“Experiences in my life, education and professional career have shaped the way I view the learning process and my philosophy on teaching,” she said.

I’m pleased to have received a press release from District 300 explaining who has filed for school board and print it below.
The election will not be one based on one-man, one-vote.
Because of the state law governing the Carpentersville school district, only three people are allowed to serve on the board from each township. Undoubtedly that law was enacted in order to keep one populated township from ruling a school district, ignoring more rural neighboring areas.
CARPENTERSVILLE – Six individuals turned in their paperwork by today’s 5 p.m. filing deadline (Jan. 26) to be candidates in the April 7, 2009, School Board election.
Three people will be elected to the District 300 Board on April 7, each to a 4- year seat. Those who filed petition paperwork to be candidates are (in alphabetical order):
Three of these candidates from Dundee Township simultaneously filed their petition papers in the D300 Central Office, at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20 (the first day that papers were accepted). Therefore, the District will hold a lottery at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, to determine ballot order for these candidates. They are: Alessio, Lee and Roeckner.
No more than two people from the same township can be elected on April 7.
The law states there cannot be more than three D300 Board members from the same township, to ensure a fair distribution of representation across the District.
The four sitting Board members whose seats are NOT up for election this April (Chris Stanton, John Ryan, Joe Stevens, and Monica Clark) each live in a different township: Rutland, Algonquin, Dundee, and Hampshire, respectively.
The three seats up for election are now held by Miller, Roeckner and Mary Warren.
Warren, a teacher in Crystal Lake, is not seeking re-election. Alessio previously served in an appointed Board seat in 2006 and 2007.
