There are other people in similar situations - for instance Pat Savage-Williams is faculty and DEI liason at New Trier but also elected ETHS board president. I don't know if it's a conflict of interest but I don't really have a great framework to think about this kind of thing.

For instance, she's been part of the process in both districts to hire the Pacific Education Group and she has a relationship with PEG that goes back to 2007 or earlier. But I don't know how it's a conflict of interest, per se.
