Good People: Meet the Forest Lake School Board Candidates!

Three neighbors. Three distinct voices. One shared commitment to the students, families, and educators of Forest Lake Area Schools.

HEALTHY SCHOOLS BUILD HEALTHY COMMUNITIES — AND THAT WORK STARTS AT THE BOARD LEVEL.

Jill Christenson, Andi Courneya, and Claire Luger come from different professional backgrounds and bring different lived experiences to this race. That’s not a tension — it’s the point. ISD 831 is a large, complex district that doesn’t have simple answers. It needs a board with the range to match that complexity.

What unites the three of them is more important than any credential: a genuine commitment to students and educators, a belief that the board exists to serve — not to perform — and a shared conviction that a strong school district is the foundation of a strong community.

They aren’t running as a bloc to rubber-stamp a single agenda. They’re running together because they’ve found real alignment on the things that matter most: protecting educator excellence, supporting whole-student growth, stewarding public resources honestly, and rebuilding community trust. Three votes in the same direction — for the right reason!
