Six of the eight candidates vying for the Livonia school board agreed on most of the issues asked about at a forum hosted Thursday by the League of Women Voters. The majority of their differences are in their backgrounds and what they bring to the table. Two of the candidates, Jake Emerick and Gregory E. Zotos, were not at the forum. Orga­ nizers read a statement from Emerick, who had a previously scheduled long-standing family commitment. The other candidates are incumbent president Mark R. Johnson, incumbent vice presi­ dent Colleen Burton, and new­ comers Jeffrey T. Jacobs, Liz Jarvis, Steve Johnson and Su­ zanne Migrin. The candidates are running for three, four-year seats on the board. A ninth candidate, Dan Centers, is running un­ opposed for a partial two-year term.

She said she saw the opportunities her seeing children had with books and wanted to provide a similar opportunity for those children who couldn’t see. “When I found out that blind children didn’t have that, that books were scarce and if you could find them, they were expensive — like $100 for a Hardy Boys book — that just seemed wrong to me,” she said. “If you give a child the gift of reading, you’ve given them the key to success.”
