I am proud to endorse and highly recommend Josh Ehart for the River Forest Public Schools Board. In working with Josh, I’ve found him to be a skilled, inclusive, and collaborative program leader. Josh is adept at driving transformations with teams of diverse individuals and skill sets in a positive and productive manner to achieve positive outcomes.Josh always brings a learning mindset to his engagements. He listens well and communicates effectively to build clear mutual understanding of problems to solve and the jobs to be done to solve them. And, he can be counted on to roll up his sleeves, jump in, and join in the effort of doing the work when needed.

Josh clearly sees diversity as a community advantage and is committed to the power and value of inclusion being at the center of the district’s strategy for holistic student success.As a friend, colleague and neighbor, I know Josh to be empathic, accountable and always committed to contributing to positive change. I am confident the residents in the School District will be making an outstanding choice and will be well-served in voting Josh onto the Board to help ensure educational excellence in the years ahead.

Katie Cook, D90 Parent

I wholeheartedly recommend Josh Ehart for the River Forest School Board. With two children who have gone through the district, Josh brings a deep understanding of our schools and the needs of our students. His dedication, level-headed approach, and ability to collaborate effectively make him the ideal advocate for our community's educational future.

Megan Kinsella, D90 Parent

I couldn’t be more excited about this candidate! Josh Ehart is a bridge builder committed to a strategic partnership between parents and our essential resource, teachers. As an educator of 25 years, 22 of those in Chicago Public Schools, I can attest first-hand that the highest quality education results from parents and teachers working closely together. The school board is a critical influence on the ways of working between the school and the community. Josh will influence this tone and collaboration in a positive way; Josh can help us down the right path for the best outcome for our kids.

Kyra Whitebone, D91 School Board member, former President

I initially met Josh when our daughters were in the same preschool program. As a longstanding member of neighboring Forest Park D91's board, including 4 years as its president, it soon became clear to me that Josh has and continues to be deeply interested in and engaged in the welfare and progress of D90. What I appreciate most about Josh is his curiosity. He doesn't ask questions just because but rather, seeking the answer far beyond the surface. He is a lifelong learner, compassionate, inclusive, respects expertise, and pragmatic. In a time of immense upheaval in our public education system, I believe Josh would be an incredible asset to the D90 Board of Education.
