The questions were prepared by the League of Women Voters of Hamilton County and asked of all candidates for this office. Read the answers from all candidates. Questions & Answers1. What effect would the community (charter) schools have on the public schools in your district?
Increase our commitment to make public schools a true quality choice for parents. 2. Evaluate the adequacy of support services, beyond state standards, presently provided for special-needs students in your district.
State funding for special needs students is totally inadequate for the mandated services required. District funding is not adequate to close the gap, but has increased substantially. 3. Has the use of proficiency tests in your school improved the education of students?
Proficiency testing has increased focus and resources on increasing student achievement and career readiness. We seek a healthy balance however, with our aim the development of the whole student to become a productive citizen, and well-rounded person.
Responses to questions asked of each candidate are reproduced as submitted to the League, but formatted for Web display. Candidates were asked to limit their responses to 300 words for all 3 answers. Simple spelling or typographical errors were corrected after confirmation with the candidate. |
