Fraenkel, Hartshorn Drive resident No more talk, deal or no deal On Tuesday, residents will be asked to choose from among seven candidates to fill three open seats on the Board of Edu- cation. It will be a tough choice, tougher than voters have faced in a long time. We have seldom seen so many candidates of this high a caliber throw their hats in the ring at one time. It is difficult to tap three out of this field for our endorsement. We applied several different criteria to aid us in our decision- making process. With the school community so divided after the defeat of the $40.2 million bond referendum and the board suffering, as one candidate put it, “paralysis by analysis,” we think it is essen- tial that anyone taking a seat on the board show qualities of adaptability and flexibility. After all, the candidates seem to agree that future boards need to be able to reach a consensus on large proposals pre- sented to the public. All the candidates appeared capable and talented in unique ways and offer voters a diverse range of professional experi- ence. We asked ourselves, which ones appeared most capa- ble of applying their talents and experience to future problems that they will face while serving on the board. We weighed the issues the candidates said were important to them and asked ourselves if they would be able to priori- tize their own goals to work with other members to build a common agenda. And after all that, most of the candidates stayed fairly even in our ratings, forcing us to look at our gut feelings as much as anything else. In the end, the hard choice for three has to be made, and here it is. We endorse David Dwyer for one of the seats. No one else /HWWHUV WR WKH (GLWRU has done more recently to shape how this community views construction and spending in the school district.
