Duane,
I am asking the same questions of each of the candidates:
1. Should the residents of SD113a support the referendum with a yes vote?
2. If yes, please highlight your plan for using these funds effectively.
3. If no, please provide your ideas for meeting your priorities.
Thank you for your interest in serving the community.

Did I hear correctly that Mr. Bradley made a comment to the effect that 113A couldn't be compared to Oak Brook's Butler because "all those teachers have their PhD's"?

If what Ms. Antonoff states is true, I'd like to know exactly when and where Mr. Bradley's "PhD" comment was made. It bothers me that a school board candidate would suggest that our schools are inferior. Not to mention the fact that his alleged statement is completely false. I went to the Butler School District 53 website and found only TWO ADMINISTRATORS with the Title of "Dr." Not a single teacher. http://www.butler53.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx
I certainly would never support a school board candidate who speaks untruths.
