Candidates for four positions on the Seattle School Board are expected at an election forum hosted by Olympic View Elementary School. Discussion of the proposed Families and Education Levy is also on the agenda.
The forum is from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11, in the school’s cafeteria at 504 N.E. 95th St.
“Meet the candidates and learn more about the issues—including pros and cons about the levy. Bring your questions!” states the sponsor, the Olympic View Parent Teacher Association. Free child care is provided.
For more information contact the PTA’s Carolyn Leith (thunderegg@gmail.com) or (206) 375-2441. The election is Nov. 8.
And don’t forget about the candidate forum at the Maple Leaf General Community Meeting the following week, from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the same location.
Although the school board won’t be represented at the meeting (the board has its own meeting that night), nearly all of the Seattle City Council candidates have confirmed; incumbent Sally Clark won’t be able to make it and Dian Ferguson hadn’t responded as of Sept. 21.
The community council has surveyed city council candidates here.
Tim Eyman also is expected to attend the Oct. 19 meeting. An Eyman-sponsored measure that would restrict the use of transportation tolls was leading 50-31 percent in a recent statewide poll.
