In-Township (Vote for 2) Rebecca Richardson: Diversity is a fancy word for differences. We have them; we always have had them. Eye color, hair color, presence or absence of freckles and birthmarks, hand dominance, height and weight are all examples of diversity. There was a time in our country when […]
Out-of-Township (Vote for 1) Justin Lamb: The Mahomet Police Department and Cornbelt Fire Department provide outstanding assistance in the districts training and drills. Having a SRO in our schools is huge plus. Patrick MacKay: As parents we trust our schools to provide a safe and secure environment for learning and […]
Out-of-Township (Vote for 1) Patrick MacKay: Teachers need to be engaged and active participants in determining and defining the vision of the district. As a board, we can start with something as simple and just sitting down to listen. That’s the least we can do when they’ve filled the role […]

Out-of-Township (Vote for 1) Patrick MacKay: I really like this blurb from the ISBE, the school board “provides local citizen control over education at a point as close to the parent and child as possible”. One of the most important responsibilities for any school board is to not only appoint […]
In-Township (Vote for 2) Max McComb: I have served on the M-S Board of Education for 14 years. After being appointed in 2007 I have been re-elected by the public three times. In 2015 my fellow board members chose me to be Board President and have continued to vote me […]
In-Township (Vote for 2) Why did you decide to run for the school board in 2021? Laura Lang: Our schools lie at the heart of our community, and had left such a dramatic impact on my life that an opportunity to serve our constituents is just too irresistible to pass-up. […]
