Hinsdale D86 Hopefuls Respond To Patch Questions

HINSDALE, IL – Patch submitted questionnaires to the six candidates running for four seats on the Hinsdale High School District 86 board in the April 1 election.

In the race are Warren Ali, Andrew Catton, Bobby Fischer, Baron Leacock, Liz Mitha and Mary Satchwell. No incumbents are running for the four four-year seats. Incumbent Jeff Waters is unopposed in the race for the two-year seat.

Patch asked the candidates about academic performance, administrative turnover, skyrocketing legal bills, a curriculum dispute and the attorney general's finding that the board violated the open meetings law.

School board members are not paid.

Here are the candidates' questionnaires (Ali did not turn one in, but instead gave a position statement):

• Warren Ali
• Andrew Catton
• Bobby Fischer
• Baron Leacock
• Liz Mitha
• Mary Satchwell
