Over the last two years, I have proudly advocated on issues affecting children, education, and parental rights. The path to run for IPSD 204 school board was part of that journey in 2021.
​
Since launching Awake Illinois - a statewide grassroots coalition - in May 2021, we've empowered communities to get activated on the issues affecting their lives, their liberty, and their pursuit of happiness.
​
Our efforts are working.
Schools and education have been ground zero in the fight for liberty and will continue to be as more people get engaged on these issues.
I began circulating petitions in September to once again run for Indian Prairie School District 204 to advocate for academics over activism in the classroom. I believe our children and schools must transcend party line in these nonpartisan elections. They also deserve the best education that is offered in this wonderful Republic.
While I garnered all the signatures needed, God is calling me to stay on the path that continues Awake Illinois' statewide advocacy and political action.
​
Thank you for supporting my petition efforts. I am always available to help anyone in IPSD 204 on issues affecting education and parental rights.
Our district can absolutely do better than 58.7% reading proficiency (2019 data). The 11,163 students not reading at grade level in IPSD 204 demand improved leadership at the board level.
​
Rather than be a candidate, my time and talents will be put towards philanthropy, civic empowerment, legislative lobbying, and political action for Illinois children, families, and communities.
​
We must work together to stop an entire generation of children from being molded - via public schools - into illiterate, sexualized activists.
​
Policies matter.
Elections matter.
Your voices matter.
This Mom isn't stopping for one second.
​
Gratefully,
Shannon Adcock
