Skokie's School Board Elections 2013: Who's Running?

While Skokie has seven school districts, only two have contested races. With tomorrow, Tuesday, April 9, being Election Day, we've put together a list of all candidates running - contested or uncontested - for all school districts.

Meanwhile, one school district doesn't have enough candidates to fill its seats.

Skokie School District 73 – or East Prairie School - is lacking candidates. At time of publication, there are only three people running for the four seats available. It is possible that someone can earn the fourth seat as a write-in candidate. However, if that fails, then the school board will select someone to fill the open spot.
