The questions they will be asked:
Versailles Elementary P.T.O.: Studies continue to show that early childhood education is a most critical phase in a student's education pathway. What one resource do you believe is of greatest significance and needs most investment?
Government Class: What is one educational challenge that the district must address and how do you as a candidate plan on addressing this concern?
Versailles Education Association: A school community is made up of student, faculty and administration. How do you plan to reach out to each of these members to get a true understanding of how the school community is interacting?
Educate Versailles: A two fold question. 1)How familiar are you with long range planning, including purposes and objectives, and in particular with the Versailles School District's five (5) year forecast and its assumptions? 2)If you determine you need additional knowledge how would you pursue that quest or would you just place your trust in the Treasurer?
Thanks for your support and we are looking for a great turnout for this very important event.
