On Sunday, Congressman Danny K. Davis and Ald. Emma Mitts endorsed three candidates running for the new police District Councils on the West Side.
The ballot will be finalized by Jan. 13, once all challenges have been decided by the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.
Leroy Duncan, Maretta Brown-Miller, Otis Percy and Tara Stamps are challenging Ald. Emma Mitts.
More than 50 people gathered Monday outside McNair Elementary to announce a campaign to get the issue on the February ballot.
Those running for the vacant 1st District seat on the Cook County Board will participate Feb. 1.
In many precincts across Austin, voters will be asked if Chicago should have an elected school board.
The schools took part in a citywide effort to get young voters registered before the Oct. 9 deadline. While that date has passed, you can visit the Illinois Board of Elections web site to learn about the grace period, which ends Nov. 3.
Tuesday’s meeting was the first of three gatherings for residents to discuss the question, which will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot in many precincts across the city.
While the school’s principal and LSC coordinator declined to speak with AustinTalks, the office manager and previous LSC coordinator said the issue, as well as increasing attendance, will require the attention of newly elected members.
