This forum allows the candidates to each provide a two-minute opening statement. They will then each have a minute and a half to answer each question posed by the moderator. At the end of the questioning period, the candidates will be able to present a one-minute closing statement. The moderator for this forum is LWVP member Jennifer Nixon.
About the Board of Education:
A five member Board of Education oversees the District. The members are elected at-large and serve for a maximum of two consecutive four year terms. Board Members are accessible to the community and integrate public input into their deliberations and decision-making. The Board acts in the best interests of all students, reviews and approves the budget, authorizes expenditures, employs all personnel (including the Superintendent), and develops local education vision, district goals, and policy within the limits of the State Education Code.
School Board Members serve as liaisons on several committees or boards of other support groups such as the City-District Liaison Committee, Piedmont Educational Foundation, each of the Parents’ Clubs, Curriculum Council, Athletic Boosters, and the Special Education District Advisory Committee.
Please submit your questions for the candidates below. Questions may be submitted up to September 24th, one week prior to the forum. Questions submitted will be screened by a team from the League to ensure a range of topics and issues.
