Eleven candidates jumped into the race for the Libertyville-Vernon Hills High School District 128 board on the first two days of filing, the most of any school district in the county so far.
The pool of candidates in that race vying over four available seats and a number of others could easily grow before filing closes on Dec. 21. Candidates often like to file at the beginning of the filing period to get their names at the top of the ballot.
