The five candidates for the three open seats on the Maplewood Richmond Heights School Board participated in a candidates forum at the MRH high school theater on March 26. They sat in the order below, which is the order they filed for the April 7 election, and the order they’ll appear on the ballot.
About 80 watched the approximately two-hour long forum in the theater. It was also broadcast live on YouTube, and a video was made for later viewing — the link is below.

All 5 have strengths and all five are doing this out of passion for the district, the kids, and the good of our community. Very few differences among them-I believe we are fine regardless of which 3 are elected. All 5 deserve praise for doing this in such a contentious environment.
