I am encouraging parents and DeKalb residents interested in improving DeKalb schools to cast their April 1 vote for Erin Grych. She is a mother of four and concerned with our schools’ Report Card results for several years. Erin is dedicated to leveling the learning field to have teachers focus on fundamentals without the continuous meeting of red tape in our schools. In addition, she tends to research her parenting and positions on “how” schools spent money on learning.
