There’s a shortage of candidates for scores of open seats for everything from school boards to village boards in Illinois.  The Arlington Heights Daily Herald reports that many races on the spring ballot in the Chicago suburbs have fewer candidates than available seats.  Some communities expect that write-in candidates will step forward before the elections and could win with just a few votes.  Melissa Kaczkowski is superintendent at Roselle Elementary District 12 and says many people aren’t prepared to make a four-year commitment.  Locally, for the Nashville High School Board of Education, there are 3 positions open, but only Paul J. Barczewski is running.  For Hoyleton Grade School Board, there are 3 seats open and the unexpired position, but only Megan P. Barnett is running.
