"I have now had the opportunity to work with Laurie both as a chair to one of Naperville's advisory boards and as a governmental colleague representing the school district. In both capacities, Laurie has demonstrated a willingness to listen to all sides before making decisions and providing thoughtful leadership to advance good public policy. I highly recommend Laurie for another term for the District 204 school board."
- Mayor Steve Chirico (2021) |
It is with great pleasure that I endorse Ms. Laurie Donahue to continue to serve on the Indian Prairie School District Board of Education. Ms. Donahue’s leadership has been evident since being seated in 2017. She brings her corporate business background to the table. She is highly analytical, and asks pertinent questions in order to achieve the best outcome for our students. Her comments for improvement are positive and readily accepted.
In addition, Laurie tirelessly volunteers her time to serve our community. Whether visiting schools with her service dogs, participating in countless school events, or serving as the Board’s liaison for the Indian Prairie Foundation, it is clear that she is a servant leader. Ms. Donahue has also extended her advocacy beyond District 204. She has authored an Illinois Association of School Board Belief statement on student voting participation. Her leadership has assisted in the Board receiving a Governance Award from them.
In conclusion, Ms. Donahue does deserve your serious consideration. She serves as a model for the community and her Board of Education colleagues. She is a humble, dedicated, and effective Board member. With your vote, she will continue to be a true asset to our school district.
