The three candidates vying for a single open seat on the Baldwin school board at a PTA sponsored candidate forum May 4 were cordial, clever and well prepared. The forum, held at the district office on Hastings Street, was energetically moderated by Marion Fleming, a volunteer from a non-Baldwin chapter of the League of Women Voters, and was structured to include opening and closing statements from each candidate as well as questions from the audience. The questions, delivered on index cards to Fleming, were addressed to each candidate in turn, and the 40 or so community members who came up with them also heard remarks from Carl Williams, an unopposed candidate for library board.
“No matter what the results of this election are, we’re lucky to have three such capable candidates for school board,” said one observer of the proceedings, and indeed the evening had a spirit of community rather than contention.
