Schools are routinely used as polling places. In District 153, James Hart and Churchill Schools will be polling places for the primary election March 19, over the objections of district administrators.
The Cook County Board of Elections has, in the past, notified school districts well in advance that schools will be polling sites. Not this time. When District 153 administrators balked at the notice received in January, they said ‘no thanks,’ but that didn’t matter.
