BREMEN – The following statement is attributable to the Bremen District 228 Joint Faculty Association (JFA) President Stephen Hogan:
“Through exhaustive dialogue and research, the Bremen High School District 228 (BHSD228) Joint Faculty Association proudly endorses the following three candidates in the upcoming BHSD228 Board of Education election: Marcus Douglas, Mary List and Deborah Stearns. The three candidates’ positions on important challenges facing our community schools provide a solid rationale for our full confidence in their leadership.
All three candidates have demonstrated a vision to best prepare the students of BHSD228 to meet the needs of a fast-changing world. They have promised to advocate on behalf of all stakeholders of the community and are focused on inclusion. Through their collaborative approaches with students, parents and staff members with transparent integrity, these candidates will lead our schools to highly respected levels of scholarship.
The 350 faculty members of the JFA, strongly encourage the BHSD228 community to please vote and support the candidacy of these dynamic leaders of the district.”
