Parents fed up with current School Board and current administration.
Apr 22, 2007 - The arrest of an Illini Bluff social studies teacher for alleged sexual involvement with a student still resonates in the community. Seven parents are attempting write-in candidacies, most saying they are fed up with the current administration and School Board.
Four of the seven write-in candidates went as far as to pool their efforts. They mailed a flyer out to residents in the school district, not only announcing their intentions and who they are, but also explaining how voters can vote for them using the electronic ballot machines.The teacher, Ian McDonald, 31, is scheduled to be in court Apr 12.
