CLETA Has Over Three Grand
$3,245.43, to be exact.
And, for those of you who did not read Wednesday’s McHenry County Blog, CLETA stands for Crystal Lake Elementary Teachers Association.
Wednesday I passed on the information I received about CLETA’s being involved in the Crystal Lake District 47’s school board elections.
The teachers’ union has apparently endorse incumbent Dave Hubbard and challenger Nancy Gonsiorek. Both opposed changing the encore class schedule.
Two incumbents besides Hubbard are up for election—Lisa Koeppel and Jeff Larkin. Koeppel and Larkin voted for the administration recommendation to lengthen class periods for math and science.
Hubbard did not.
As a member of the Illinois Education Association (the name of the dominant statewide teachers' union), the $3,200 available is not indicative of the resources that could be brought to bear in this race.
The IEA is capable of transferring thousands on a moment’s notice.
At minimum expect signs for CLETA’s endorsed candidates to pop up on most of the yards that had the “No Changes Please” signs before last fall’s election.
