This November, residents in the Akron school district will elect four members to the Akron Public Schools Board of Education. Now’s your chance to hear from the candidates firsthand about their views on education and the important issues facing the district.
Join us for an Akron school board debate beginning at noon Oct. 8 at Quaker Station, 135 S. Broadway St., Akron.
The debate is being hosted by Akron Decides, a partnership of the Akron Press Club, Akron Beacon Journal, Ideastream Public Media and Signal Akron.
During the debate, the candidates will field questions posed by local journalists from the Beacon Journal, Ideastream and Signal Akron. Cheryl Powell, executive editor of the Beacon Journal, will serve as moderator.
