Christie Tujik has thrown her hat into the political ring.

Tujik is running for a trustee position with School District 22 in the Oct. 20 election.

“My background is retail management and banking. I have been an active member of the school PAC for the last two years,” said Tujik who has been involved as the DAC rep for Beairsto Elemetary

“I represented Beairsto, by preparing a school board presentation for the formation of a fifth French Immersion Kindergarden class for the 2017-18 school year, which was granted. I was also the lead member who advocated to the school board for a crossing guard, which was granted this school year. “As a parent, my goal is and has always been the education, well being and safety of my children. To that degree, I have an interest in their future, as well as the future of the other children in this school district. I am passionate about making this school district, the best it can be.”
