The Toledo Public School Board Candidate Forum
Toledo, treatment OH (September 24, capsule 2009) — The Greater Toledo Urban League, Adelante LRC and Thosefellas, LLC will co-host a Toledo Public School Board candidate forum in the central city of Toledo. All Toledo Public School Board candidates listed on the ballot are invited to attend. The forum will be moderated by Schylar Meadows, Host of “Juice Talk on WJUC, 107.3FM; Dan Briones, Board Chairman of Adelante, and John Dorsey, freelance journalist for several publications. The forum will take place in the Collingwood Arts Center, 2413 Collingwood Blvd., Toledo, Ohio from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm on September 29, 2009.
Questions will be prepared with a focus on issues that directly address the achievement gap and impact the minority community. The community is encouraged to submit questions in advance of Tuesday’s Forum to thosefellas@yahoo.com or info@gtul.org. Audience members will be given index cards to write questions. The questions will be screened to avoid repetition and presented in the second half of the forum. The forum is open to the public with seating based on first-come, first-served. This will be the first forum of this election season dedicated to the Toledo Public School Board and that directly addresses the topic of education.
The Greater Toledo Urban League, Adelante and Thosefellas encourage educated participation in the electoral process to promote a healthy democracy.
“Education is the key to securing the future of our city and our communities. Now more than ever before, each youth and their families should be assured a quality and equitable education. A key component in ensuring this happens is the leadership on Toledo Public School’s Board of Education. Our goal is to provide the voters of Toledo the opportunity to hear from each candidate, in order to make an informed vote on election day.” said John C. Jones, President & CEO, Greater Toledo Urban League.
“Education is the life blood of great cities and our great city must protect that which is essential. We must have people representing the interest of our most valued treasure – our children. A yard sign cannot be what determines who makes important decisions. We must know for whom we are voting and hold them accountable.” said Kamaron Kyser, President, Thosefellas, LLC.
“Here would be a great quote from either Bonnie or Stephanie about the League of Women Voters.” said Bonnie or Stephanie Kaiser, League of Women Voters of Toledo-Lucas County.
