Name: Judith Weinstock Position Sought: Board of Education Glenbard High School District 87 Campaign Contact Information: Judith152@aol.com What will be your single most important priority if you get elected? Since high school is probably the last opportunity for students to explore the arts, music, theater, or technical courses, it's important for the Glenbard schools to offer a comprehensive curriculum. The school day needs to be expanded or reconfigured to allow time in students' schedules for these opportunities. This means maintaining the many electives we have as well.
