Both the Evanston/Skokie School District 65 and the Evanston Township High School District 202 Boards of Education have seats up for grabs in the upcoming election this April. The District 65 and District 202 boards each comprise seven members who serve four-year terms. This year, two incumbents and three challengers are contending for three positions.
Marquise Weatherspoon has resigned from the Evanston/Skokie School District 65 board as of Monday. Weatherspoon joined the board in 2021 for a two-year term, filling the vacancy left by Rebeca Mendoza. In April 2022, she was elected vice president, succeeding Elisabeth “Biz” Lindsay-Ryan. While on the board, she co-chaired the Special Education Parent Advisory Council.
