It is with great pleasure that I endorse Ms. Laurie Donahue to continue to serve on the Indian Prairie School District Board of Education. She brings her corporate business background to the table. She is highly analytical and asks pertinent questions to achieve the best outcome for our students.
Her leadership on the Board has been unparalleled. As President of the Board, she has led the charge to change school boundaries and pass a referendum to provide learning environments that will provide 21st century education to our children for years to come. She has authored an Illinois Association of School Board Belief statement on student voting participation. Also, District 204 continues to provide Board member training sessions at the Illinois of Association of School Boards Convention. As a result, the District 204 School Board continues to recognized with their Governance Award.
In addition, Laurie tirelessly volunteers her time to serve our community. Whether visiting schools with her service dog, participating in countless school events, supporting the Indian Prairie Foundation, or substitute teaching at our schools, it is clear that she is a servant leader.
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.

Vote for: Laurie Donahue, Allison Fosdick, Susan Taylor-Demming and Supna Jain. They are servant leaders who prioritize the growth and well-being of the whole education community. They focus on students, not parties or politics. They know what it means to be a volunteer school board member. They are in the schools, interacting with students, listening to parents, talking to teachers, meeting with administrators, and advocating with elected officials at the local and state level. They each have their own points of view and opinions that allow your board to function effectively. As a lifelong resident of the district, I am proud to serve with them on the board. They will continue to improve our schools. Join me in voting for them.

I emphatically endorse Laurie Donahue for Indian Prairie School District 204 School Board. She demonstrates thoughtfulness, critical thinking and a student focused approach to decision making. Her background as a top executive in the technology industry gives her a solid handle on balancing the needs of our students with the needs of our taxpayers and can think outside the box. She is an active board member, constantly volunteering wherever and whenever schools or other organizations need a hand. As a social worker, I know that Laurie puts the social emotional well-being of our students first. It has been a pleasure to work and learn alongside Laurie for many years.

I proudly endorse Laurie Donahue, Susan Taylor-Demming, Allison Fosdick, and Supna Jain for their exceptional leadership on the Indian Prairie 204 School Board. Serving alongside them, I have seen their dedication to students, staff, and the community. Together, we have accomplished major milestones, including boundary changes, a strategic plan, and a successful referendum to improve school facilities, safety, and security. Their leadership has helped IPSD 204 earn recognition as the 29th Best School District in America. They are committed to academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, and the long-term success of our schools. Their experience, vision, and passion make them invaluable to our district’s future. I am honored to have worked with them and know they will continue making a meaningful impact. They have my full support.
- Mark Rising, Board Member, Indian Prairie School District 204 (2025)
I am proudly endorsing Laurie Donahue, Susan Taylor-Demming, Supna Jain and Allison Fosdick for re-election to the IPSD 204 School Board. I have had the pleasure of working with these four amazing women on the school board for the past two years. I have seen first hand the care they bring to the board.
They all bring their business and education backgrounds to our meetings to help facilitate thoughtful discussions about finances, student academic development, community engagement and many other issues. They all volunteer in the community and engage with the schools in our district to help all of us have an understanding of the individual needs of school/staff/student. I think that IPSD 204 would benefit greatly from another four years with Laurie Donahue, Susan Taylor-Demming, Supna Jain and Allison Fosdick.
