District 113 Superintendent Urges Residents to Vote

Dear District 113 Community Members:

Tomorrow, Election Day, is a big day for this community. Much is at stake. The future of District 113 students will be defined by the outcome of two key election results: 1) the District 113 School Board election and 2) the 113 referendum proposal for capital improvement projects.

Do not let our students’ fate be decided by others. YOUR VOTE is powerful. YOUR VOTE is needed. Make it a priority to get to the polls and vote. Polls open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. on April 5.

On behalf of our students, thank you for doing your homework to learn the facts. If you are a procrastinator, you can CRAM BEFORE THE “EXAM”, by studying these websites and notes below to learn the facts: 

• District 113 Board of Education Election—10 candidates/4 seats  
• Referendum Proposal Long-Range Capital Improvement Plan
  • Academic and Instructional—(approx. $82.4 million)
  • Technology and Infrastructure—(approx. $37.6 million)

• Referendum Proposal Financing:

Thank you for voting on April 5.

Sincerely,

George V. Fornero
