Shannon Adcock isn’t bashful about admitting that her District 204 school board run is largely fueled by emotion.
“We will never forget what our inept leaders took from our kids and community this past year,” Adcock told parents equally outraged by school closings at a recent rally in Naperville. “No matter how they try to reverse engineer and package it in this false narrative of safety, they were wrong and refuse to own up to it.”
On her Facebook page, the mother of three insists her run on the Advocating for Students and the Community ticket is totally self-funded and all about doing what’s in the best interest of students.
At the recent “Cross-District Rally to Reopen” where Adcock spoke, parents from nine different districts came together in downtown Naperville to express their displeasure.
Joining Adcock on the list of speakers were Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey (R-Louisville), who’s running for governor; radio host for AM 560 WIND Amy Jacobson; District 202 School Board candidates Raj Pillai, Nick Giannasi, Rick Todd and Annie Klupshas; Naperville city councilman Kevin Coyne; District 203 School Board candidates Bill Eagan and Adam Russo; District 204 School Board candidate Rajesh Narayan; Naperville city council candidate Paul Leong; District 308 board member Brent Lightfoot, and former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas.
