re: #70 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut
Tons of school boards in Chicago, fewer in Nowheresville Iowa.
Only one in the city proper, but several others in Cook County. Some of the suburban school boards are responsible for schools for towns with a population of over 30,000. The largest suburb, Evanston, is over 100,000.
Places like that, winning takes more than lawn signs.
