The April 1 board of education election for Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 became officially uncontested Friday when an electoral board sustained objections against two of the filed candidates’ nominating petitions.
Removed from the ballot were Jean Baptiste Benjamin Hirwa of Schaumburg and Michael Prokopij of Hanover Park.
The remaining candidates for the three available seats are former candidate Jane Russell of Rolling Meadows, former Schaumburg Township Elementary District 54 board member Kenneth Van Dyke of Roselle and Anne Lopez of Hanover Park.
Van Dyke filed the objection against Hirwa’s petition, while former District 211 board member Ed Yung filed the objection against Prokopij’s.
None of the incumbents whose terms are ending are seeking reelection. Senior board member and current president Anna Klimkowicz, along with first-term members Curtis Bradley and Tim McGowan, will leave the board in the spring.
