GENEVA, IL — Four seats on the Geneva School District 304 Board of Education will be up for reelection on April 1, 2025.

The seats currently held Vice President Jacqueline "Jackie" Forbes and members Dan Choi, Stephanie Bellino and Willard C. Hooks, Jr. will be up for grabs in the upcoming consolidated election. Choi assumed the position in June 2020, Forbes in April 2021, and Bellino and Hooks in April 2023.

Members of the seven-member Board serve four-year terms and are not compensated for their service to the school district. Their goal is to adopt policies for grades preschool through 12th, provide the resources necessary to pursue the goals and monitor the district's performance.
