GLENVIEW – The Glenview Education Association (GEA) and Glenview Professional Association (GPA) are recommending Jessica Pritzker and Eva Giglio for the Glenview School District 34 (D34) school board election on April 1.
These candidates were selected after an extensive vetting process which included research and in-person candidate interviews. After the interview process, the team met to determine which candidates would best serve the interests of Glenview students, educators and the community.
The following statement is attributable to GEA President Nanette Ross-Meridith and GPA President Marguerite Cole:
“The Glenview Education Association and Glenview Professional Association are proud to endorse Jessica Pritzker and Eva Giglio for election to the District 34 Board of Education. In our conversations with each candidate, leaders from both unions were extremely impressed with their commitment to the social emotional well-being and academic success of our students. They share our ideals of equity and social justice, respect the expertise of educators and understand the value of collaborative leadership. These commitments are evident not just in their words, but in their long-term careers as public educators, union members and educational leaders. We look forward to continuing to work alongside the school board to lift up the voices of all Glenview students and educators.”
GEA and GPA together represent more than 479 educators and staff working in the D34 school district. They serve the more than 4,200 students attending D34’s eight schools.
The D34 school board election is April 1. Early voting began March 17.
