HIGHLAND PARK, IL - The District 112 Caucus voted over the weekend to endorse Dan Jenks, Art Kessler and Brent Ross in the 2017 school board election.
A fourth candidate was not endorsed, although four seats are up for re-election on the board in 2017.
Incumbent Jane Solmor-Mordini and challengers Alexander Brunk, Julie Campbell and Lisa Hirsh also sought the caucus' endorsement, according to previous reports.
The caucus met with all candidates and engaged in "lively discussion."
"Endorsement of a candidate requires a vote of at least two-thirds of the delegates to the Caucus," the Caucus wrote in announcing its endorsements. "It reflects the consensus reached by a diverse group of stakeholders from throughout District 112 that the endorsed candidates are highly qualified to serve the interests of the community on the District 112 School Board over the next four years."
"Not receiving an endorsement should not be viewed as a criticism or comment on the qualifications of a candidate - the concurrence of two-thirds of the delegates is required for endorsement, reflecting the consensus of a diverse group of community members."
