Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

 To the editor:At the board
meeting on July 24, the Chester-East Lincoln CCSD #61 Board of
Education will be voting on a resolution to elect board members at
large without restriction by township of residence within the
district. If the resolution is passed by the board, a public
question will be place on the ballot in November for voters. If it
passes, board members will be elected at large without restriction
by area of residence within the district.
Why are we doing this? For the last year, Chester-East Lincoln CCSD
#61 has been functioning as a six member board instead of seven
because we have been unable to fill the last seat due to the
limitation of board seats per township.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
By becoming an at large district, it would allow the
townships to no longer be an issue when filling the seats on the
board. It would essentially mean anyone residing within the district
boundaries would be eligible to be a board member regardless of the
township in which they live.

Laura Irwin, Administrator Chester-East Lincoln CCSD #61]
