LWPTSA Council successfully hosted a crucial School Board Candidate Forum on October 15, at the LWSD Resource Center. We extend our sincere gratitude to candidates Angela Meekhoff, Susan Hughes, Aspen Richter, and Kim Martin for their thoughtful participation and engagement with our community.
Special thanks to Melissa Stone for moderating the evening with clarity and care. Her leadership helped guide a powerful conversation about accountability, transparency, and the future of our district.
The discussion was robust, covering critical areas including district priorities, academic standards (including high-cap programs), equity policies, and the long-term vision for student success.
Please take a few moments to fill out a feedback form for the forum.
We will be sharing a detailed analysis and the candidates’ full responses on these critical issues shortly. Please check our website for the update.
