The answers are limited to 80 words and the responses are unedited.
Here are some of the questions asked by the league. Candidates for the Board of Finance were asked:
- What special qualifications and experience would you bring to the office?
- What would you hope to have accomplished after your first year on the Board of Finance?
And candidates for the Board of Education were asked:
- In a joint position statement, Connecticut Association of Boards of Education and the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents have stated that the focus of both a Board and a Superintendent “must always be collaboration on behalf of children.” How do you distinguish the role of a board of education from that of a superintendent?
- Current BOE by-laws require that the Board conduct an annual self-evaluation of its policies, practices, and internal operating procedures. Name a policy, practice, or procedure that you would like to see changed. Share your rationale.
- What do you believe should be the top three priorities of the School District over the next three-to-five years. Explain your thinking.
Fairfield polling stations open Tuesday at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Identification is required when voting.
