I believe this could be the most important school board election for Johnsburg in the history of my time in this district. I hear nothing but unhappiness about how the district is being ran. Most are afraid of retaliation if they speak up. This is sad. We are in an era of limited resources and it requires a board who is willing to ask the difficult questions and listen to their constituents. Staff morale is at an all time low from what I am hearing throughout the school district. I want to see our district thought of as number one once again. I am for fiscal responsibility, high student standards, and a staff that is listened to and respected. I ask that you vote in the upcoming election on April 5, 2011 and I certainly would appreciate your support at the ballot box. Pat Bingman Syens
