GOVERNING BOARD CANDIDATES FORUM

FOR THOSE RUNNING IN THE TEMPE UNION & KYRENE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICTS

The Parent Network and the Kyrene Chapter of Stand for Children will hold a forum for Governing Board candidates for the Tempe Union High School District and Kyrene Elementary School District.

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

At the Tempe Police Substation Auditorium

Members of the audience will be encouraged to write their questions on cards that will be read by the moderators, to be answered by the candidates.

This is a great opportunity for voters to get information about how the candidates might change the schools, or what aspects they'd continue.

For instance:

· TEST SCORES: What do you think should be done to improve test scores, especially for the demographic groups defined by NCLB?

· What will you do to help assure that all students receive an appropriate challenge, those who are below grade level and those who are above it?

· BULLYING: What do you think should be done about bullying? Do you think bullying affects student achievement? How?

· ELECTIVES: Are enough offered? Are they rigorous enough?

· Why do you think the district needs a bond and an override? Or do you think it does not?

· WORLD: What needs to be different in 10 years to support learning for the 21st century? What will you do next year to get the district there?
