Michelle Casile, Community Contributor

I have lived in this community since 2011 and have been an involved community member for the St. Charles D303 school district for years. I have a true passion for high student academic performance and creating strong environments for student well-being. My goal is to connect the community through comprehensive, honest, and fact-based reporting. I started a Facebook page with fellow D303 parents in 2017 out of the need for community engagement and lack of accountability. Citizens For D303 Accountability is an online community engagement forum where members of the community can discuss district successes, issues, opinions, and suggestions. This is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/233199237208444/?ref=group_header. It’s a centralized place for information exchange and engagement. Being a Patch Mayor has extended my reach further to expand into other areas of interest. I look forward to helping our community stay informed and connected.
