Elections
2015
Three of the seven at-large seats on the Community Consolidated School District 15 Board of Education were up for general election on April 7, 2015. The seats of incumbents Scott Herr, Gerard Iannuzzelli and Manjula V. Sriram were on the ballot. Herr did not file to run for re-election, leaving Iannuzzelli and Sriram to run against the following five challengers: Frank Annerino, David Gurion, Zubair Khan, Jessica C. Morrison and Joshua N. Perry.
Two candidate slates emerged in this election. Incumbents Gerard Iannuzzelli and Manjula V. Sriram formed a slate with challenger Frank Annerino called "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15," referencing their ballot placements. Challengers David Gurion, Zubair Khan and Jessica C. Morrison also formed a slate. Both groups asked voters to place all three candidates in the slate on the school board.
Neither candidate slate was fully successful, though members of both slates won seats on the board. Only Sriram won her bid for re-election in the "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15" slate, and only two members of the challenger slate, Morrison and Khan, were elected to the board.
