"Thank you for sending the questions.

Unfortunately, due to previous commitments, I have been unable to find the time needed to properly respond to the supplied 29 questions across the 10 categories by today’s due date of February 7th.

With respect to LGBTQ+ students, I fully support the District’s Gender Support Plans as outlined at this link: https://www.district65.net/about/commitment-to-equity/gender-support-plans

I also fully support the Inclusive Curriculum Law signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker in 2019, that went into effect the summer of 2020.

Thank you for your time and consideration."
