Off topic, but it is interesting to see from the campaign disclosure reports that Steve Hagerty has donated $1000 to the campaign of Nichole Pinkard. She also received $1000 from the Rachel Kohler, scion of the late billionaire Herbert Kohler. She is by far the biggest fundraiser at this point.

Apparently Pinkhard is a business partner of Kohler's. They run something called STEAMe.
I must be dumb since I couldn't make heads or tails of what they actually do from their website: https://steame.com/
I would never vote for her as it seems from her research work that she is a real advocate of the dumbing-down with technology in schools. I find it curious that Hagerty is putting money behind her since he has been critical of the Board and it doesn't seem like Pinkard is a reformer in any way. (Remember she gave money to Mya Wilkins' campaign last time around)
Just looked again at the candidate disclosures and Pinkard got another contribution from the billionaire Kohler family--this time for $5,000. She also got $1000 from a Chicago doctor, Stacy Lindau, and $1,000 from a Wilmette executive of a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.
She has raised $10,000 over the last month--mostly from rich out-of-towners.
This is a CRAZY amount of money for a school board race. I've been looking at these reports for years and normally a candidate raises and spends a several hundred bucks.
During the last election, for example, Sergio raised about $1000, most of which he spent on signs and promo material. He has about $45.00 in the bank now.
Cool. I do think including info on who is funding their campaigns is pertinent.
If you have the opportunity to interview PInkard, please ask her if she thinks the district could "unifiy workflows and improve efficiency so all partners within a workforce development system can collaborate seamlessly, access actionable data, deepen impact and scale"!

I am going to publish a voter guide - a big ass PDF with answers to my questions and a table of donors to candidates. So stay tuned
