In a recent discussion regarding the upcoming 2025 election, Jose Jaques outlined what he believes are the three most pressing challenges facing DeKalb School District 428. According to Jaques, the first major issue is classroom size, which he argues directly impacts the quality of education and individual attention students receive.
He also highlighted student behavior and discipline as a critical concern, noting that maintaining a conducive learning environment is essential for both students and teachers. Jaques emphasized that effective discipline strategies are necessary to foster a positive educational atmosphere.
Lastly, Jaques pointed to the need for fiscal transparency within the district. He believes that clear communication about financial matters is vital for building trust among parents, staff, and the community. By addressing these key issues, Jaques aims to contribute to a more effective and supportive educational environment for all students in the district.
