Nancy zettlr7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() This diversion has cost D300 hundreds of millions of dollars over the years and while we weren’t able to prevent the extension, we were able to get back several million dollars a year that would have otherwise continued to be given to Sears.Ī few years back I was asked to run for the Board of Education. In 2011, we resurrected Advance 300 and worked with the board and administration to fight the state’s continued diversion of property tax dollars, meant for our schools, to Sears Holding Corporation. In 2005, I worked as Co-Chair of Advance 300, a grassroots community driven organization crucial to the passage of referenda in 2006, that helped put the district on a course towards being one of the most financially healthy and transparent districts in the state. I almost immediately became involved in D300 and have spent a lot of time over the years working to support the district and the community. ![]() I brought these beliefs with me when my husband and I moved our family here in 1999. Only then are they really “ready” to learn. To accomplish these goals we have to make sure that every child who walks through the doors of one of our schools feels welcome, valued, safe and loved. I also believe that every child is entitled to a great education and the chance to learn to love to learn. I believe that education is the one thing that you can earn throughout your life that no one can take away from you. She raised me and my sisters to love to learn and to believe that we could be anything we wanted to be if we worked hard enough. My mom was an elementary ed teacher for over 20 years and loved it. I was brought up in a public education home. I am running again because I believe in public education. I’m Nancy Zettler and I am running for re-election to our Board of Education. ![]()
