The Trenton Teachers Association and the Trenton Republican-Times have joined forces to give the public an opportunity to hear from candidates who are seeking positions on the Trenton R-9 Board of Education in the April 6 election.
A candidate forum will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 18 in the Trenton High School commons. Mindy Walker, field representative for the Missouri State Teachers Association, will serve as moderator for the event, which will also be livestreamed with the capability of future viewing. The format will include a period of time for the candidates to introduce themselves and their platform, followed by questions that have been submitted prior to the forum. If there is time remaining, the floor will be open for questions.
Those who would like to submit a question are asked to send it to the Republican-Times at [email protected] and put “Candidate Forum” in the subject line. Questions will be organized as to avoid repeated questions on the same subject during the forum and will be presented anonymously.
Those who have filed for the two open seats on the board include Emily Lasley, Melissa King, Bill Miller, Michael Voorhies, Joshua Shuler, Jeff Spencer and Shaun McCullough. Incumbents Cliff Roeder and Dr. David Whitaker chose not to seek re-election.
