Wheaton Warrenville Education Association "Helping teachers teach and students learn" Teacher's Union for District 200
The WWEA has recommended School Board candidates for more than 30 years. As professional educators, we take this process very seriously. School Board elections are nonpartisan and we do not seek out a particular political ideology. We seek to recommend candidates who:
- will support all students,
- are collaborative with all stakeholders,
- are committed to equity and diversity, and
- are invested in delivering a high-quality and equitable public education for all.
We always invite all candidates to participate in our recommendation process and six of the seven candidates met with us this year. One candidate did not respond. The process includes responding to a written questionnaire, followed by a meeting with a panel of educators for a face-to-face interview.
Once this process is complete, our panel of educators develops a recommendation. This recommendation is then sent to our Governing Board for approval. The WWEA Governing Board is composed of educators who are elected to represent each school in the District. The Governing Board overwhelmingly voted in favor of the panel’s recommendation to support: Rob Hanlon, John Rutledge, Angela Blatner, and Katy Ebbesen.
