[Peace-discuss] school board elections in Champaign and Urbana

[Karen Medina]

RE: Champaign School Board
I am not sure about Novak with regards to the Consent Decree. 

Perhaps David Green and Vicky have something more to add about the Champaign School Board candidates. 

There are people running for 2 year and 4 year terms. 

Warning: John Bambanek (aka Bambi) is running as well.
