District 15 School Board Election Results
With 76 of 76 precincts reporting, candidates Peggy Babcock, Richard Bokor, David Seiffert and James Ekeberg won the four seats on the District 15 school board.
It was a contentious election with many issues debated here on Palatine Patch, including the ongoing issue of outsourcing bus services at District 15, and the looming choice between Late Start/Early Release to allow for teacher development time.
In order: Peggy Babcock was the top vote getter, followed by David Seiffert, also an incumbent, and James Ekeberg, who previously served on the D15 school board. Incumbent Richard Bokor was able to pull out a win and came in fourth place.
It is notable that newcomer Matthew Lyons was a mere 160 votes behind Bokor. Lyons ran on the 1-2-3 ticket with Jennifer Zold and Donna Johnson.
