“Mohammed, who is running as an independent, praised District 219 for its diversity and for providing counselors, vocational training, test preparation and clubs for all students.

“Because of the wide range of clubs, there are tons of scholarship opportunities,” Mohammed said. “These schools are already doing great in these areas.”

Two of the issues on which the district can improve are professional development for teachers and hiring teachers that “mirror” student demographics, she said.”
