The Facts You Need to Vote for School Board
On May 17, voters will choose School Board directors from a field of candidates. Districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 are up for reelection in 2011. Districts 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 will be up for reelection in 2013.
A+ Schools has asked the candidates to help voters decide by answering a few questions. Every candidate was sent the same questionnaire and given an opportunity to respond. Each candidate was also given the opportunity to submit a photo, résumé and website link to be shared with the public. Candidates for each School Board district are listed in alphabetical order by last name.
We Asked the Candidates:
- What are your most important personal characteristics or traits as they relate to the office you seek?
- Please describe your strengths in at least 1 of the 5 A+ Schools indicators of effective governance: focus and mission, transparency, conduct, competency or role clarity.
- What do you believe to be the role of the School Board as it relates to how the district operates and how do you plan to uphold this role, if elected?
- If elected, in what policy area will you show the most leadership and how do you intend to do so?
- What do you believe to be the most critical issue facing the Pittsburgh Public School District and, if elected to the board, what specific actions will you take to address it?
- In the upcoming months, the school district could lose many millions of dollars in state funding. If you were elected to the board, what would be your course of action to address a large funding cut from the state?
