The future of Lee County schools, budgeting and other important issues are slated for discussion among candidates at an August 4th 6PM community forum at the Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers.
Board candidates representing three districts will present their qualifications and platforms prior to the primary runoff election on August 24, 2010. One candidate from each district will be chosen by voters. Seven candidates are vying for the open seats.
Participating candidates, Don Armstrong, Mary Fischer, Arnold Gibbs, Elinor Scricca, Tom Scott and John Traube will address a variety of issues pertaining to one of Florida's largest (80,000 students) and most diverse school districts. A question-and-answer session will follow candidate remarks.
The forum, on August 4th at 6PM, is free and open to the public.
