Hosted by the Kingfield and Lyndale Neighborhood Associations, Bryant Neighborhood Organization, League of Women Voters of Minneapolis, Southwest Journal and Minneapolis Public Schools Zone 3
Ten at-large candidates running for school board will be speaking to the public regarding their interests in running for the MPS School Board and their talents for serving in this challenging position. Candidates will all be invited to submit a written bio and answer two district-centric questions; to learn more about the candidates before the forum you can read this information at the Southwest Journal online beginning July 12. Alternatively you can pick up a hard copy at the Kingfield Farmers' Market on Sunday July 18, 8:30am - 1:30pm, 4310 Nicollet Avenue South.
Candidates will each be given time to answer a predetermined question to give attendees a chance to view their ability to prepare and present their position on an issue publicly. During this section of the presentation questions will be collected from the audience and sorted by the League; the prevailing themes that emerge will determine which questions are directed to the candidates for the second hour of the forum. There will be a 30 minute meet and greet after the forum with the candidates.
This pre-primary forum is an important opportunity for citizens to gain knowledge on the candidates to assist with voting in the August 10 primary, where the pool will be narrowed from 10 candidates to 4.
