DOWNERS GROVE — One of the candidates for Community High School District 99's school board is dropping out of the race, leaving five candidates vying for the four seats.

Henry Jakobsze cited personal circumstances for his decision to drop out, and he threw his support behind incumbent Debbie Boyle.

His decision leaves three incumbents and two challengers in the race — incumbents Boyle, Terry Pavesich and Julia Beckman, and challengers Rick Pavinato and Martin Gorski. Jakobsze is the second candidate to drop out of the race after President Bill White decided not to run for re-election earlier this year.
