Community Group Backs Collaborative Leadership for D158 Schools

As the April 1, 2025 Consolidated Election approaches, Candidates for All Kids, a grassroots, non-partisan community organizing group, is dedicated to enhancing the educational environment in Huntley School District 158. The group's mission is to foster an inclusive, innovative, and supportive setting where every student can thrive. They believe in strengthening teacher support, expanding educational opportunities, and enhancing community partnerships to ensure all students have the resources they need to succeed.

School boards are non-partisan entities focused solely on the well-being and education of children. In this spirit, Candidates for All Kids is recommending a diverse group of candidates for the District 158 School Board: Andrew Fekete, Rich Bobby, Sean Cratty, Melissa Maiorino, and Paul Troy. These individuals are expected to represent the interests of all kids, teachers, and staff, bringing a collaborative and effective leadership approach to the board.

Candidates for All Kids is a diverse group of enthusiastic parents and community members who share a common vision for their schools. Their efforts to support these candidates have been multifaceted. Recently, they sponsored a booth at the Huntley Expo on March 15, providing an opportunity for community members to meet and learn more about the recommended candidates. They have also been actively engaging with their personal and community networks through social media outreach and community conversations to spread the word about these dedicated individuals.
In addition to promoting their recommended candidates, Candidates for All Kids is working diligently to disseminate voting information and emphasize the importance of participating in this election. Voting is seen as a powerful tool for making voices heard and driving positive change in the community. By exercising the right to vote, the collective voice can be impactful, ensuring that schools continue to thrive.

Candidates for All Kids operates independently and is self-funded, with no affiliation to any political party or organization. The group's goal is to promote a cohesive vision for the school board that aligns with their values of transparency, collaboration, and excellence. They aim to make District 158 a model for educational achievement and community engagement, where every student has the opportunity to excel.

Community members are encouraged to learn more about these candidates and their vision for District 158. Together, they can work towards creating a brighter future for all students. More information about Candidates for All Kids and the candidates they are supporting can be found here.
