There are 24 competitive school board races in DuPage County, according to an analysis of candidate filings by DuPage Policy Journal.
Of the 24 school boards, 18 currently have Democrat majorities, according to an analysis of elected official primary voting history.
All told-- 134 candidates are running for 83 open seats across the 24 districts, including 52 incumbents.
That includes 74 Democrats and 46 Republicans.
7-0 Democrat school boards in DuPage County include Glen Ellyn SD 41, Westmont CUSD 201 and Naperville CUSD 203, where two GOP challengers are looking to join a board unanimously supportive of pro-"Critical Race Theory" district superintendent Dan Bridges.
Last year, Naperville 203 Board President Kristin Fitzgerald irked hundreds of parents protesting her mask mandates at a school board meeting, admionishing them repeatedly to wear their masks properly, or she wouldn't allow public comment.
Fitzgerald is a Democrat who once worked for GOP congressmen Harris Fawell and Judy Biggert. She's up for re-election in 2025.
In Downers Grove HSD 99, the wife of U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Downers Grove), Kara Casten, is a Democrat candidate for school board. She's running on an "equity" slate, backed by HSD 99 superintendent Hank Thiele, along with Ken Dawson and Don Renner, a GOP primary voter who donates to Democrats, campaign finance records show.
District email records show Kara Casten consulted Thiele before declaring her candidacy last fall.
Dawson's wife, Donna, was hired in Feb. by Thiele to be a "permanent guest teacher" in the district at $150 per day.
Elmhurst CUSD 205 is 6-0-1, Republican. But unhappiness over the board's handling of mask mandates, the teaching of "Critical Race Theory" and its response to the bullying of a special needs student last year has attracted five GOP challengers to GOP incumbents.
Some districts are sure to flip. Carol Stream CCSD 93 is currently 4-3 Republican. It has six seats up-- the most in DuPage County. But all nine candidates running to fill them are Democrats.
Of the 168 current school board slots in the 24 competitive districts, 107 are held by Democrats, 52 by Republicans and nine by an independent.
Election Day is Tues. April 4.
