The Iowa City Education Association, representing over 700 teachers and para-educators in the Iowa City Schools, have announced their endorsements in the November 7th School Board election.
In a release from the group, ICEA urges the public to vote for incumbents Molly Abraham, Charlie Eastham, Lisa Williams, and challenger Mitch Lingo.
ICEA President Brady Shutt called the endorsees “thoughtful and experienced candidates who are willing to serve in this critically important role in the Iowa City Community School District,” and “talented community members who have demonstrated their rock-solid support for students and staff as well as an unwavering commitment to public schools.”
All of the endorsed candidates participated in a rigorous endorsement process including ICEA candidate questionnaires and interviews, as well as vetting and a vote by the ICEA Executive Board and Building Representative Council.
Early voting is available by absentee ballot or at the Johnson County Auditor’s Office during regular business hours. Requests for absentee ballots must be received by Monday.
