Judith McConnell
A mother of two, grandmother of three, Judith is an award winning writer and editor, business writing coach, thrilled to have been published in a national best-seller, a Northwestern graduate (political science major and writing minor) and former Community Unit School District board member who believes she learned at least as much, if not more, during her four year term than while earning her university degree. She believes, too, that you are entitled to know more about the education of the children, especially your own, within your community. To that purpose, she is dedicated to writing Truth Behind School Boards.
If you are a parent or property taxpayer or are friends with anyone who is, this blog is for you! And, if you believe your district school board is working to ensure the best possible education for students, or that members carefully consider expenses to keep your taxes under control, it is our intention to share with you what we’ve learned. What you think you may know —or don’t — may surprise you. Truth Behind School Boards is your go to blog for information, tips, concepts, and causes to help you most effectively deal with your school principal, superintendent and board members re issues of concern.
Please visit our page on Facebook, too.
Looking forward . . .

Post Script: Happy to share that my daughter is a wife, mother of three — all now teenagers, glad it’s her and not me LOL — and a successful real estate broker. My son who holds a BS in Communications from Northwestern and an MA in education from Roosevelt is an elementary school teacher with a penchant for teaching first graders how to fuel their passion for writing.
