School board candidate selector

Welcome to our 2003 Lawrence school board candidate selector. It's a fun and educational tool that can help you decide which candidates you agree with the most.

Here's how it works. We sent each candidate a questionnaire. Below, we've listed the questions and possible responses. Choose the response you agree with, and after you're done, we'll tell you the names of the candidates you agreed with the most.

Please note that this is meant to be fun and educational -- but shouldn't necessarily be used as the de facto way of making such an important decision. We encourage you to learn as much as you can about each candidate.

1. Do you support the current school board's bond issue proposal?


2. Do you agree there is a need for closing and consolidation of some schools?


3. Do you think the district's financial situation is as dire as the current board portrays it?


4. Do you support cutting course offerings at the high school level to save funds?


5. Do you support cutting junior high athletics and/or extracurricular activities to save funds?


6. Do you support cutting band and orchestra programs at the elementary level to save funds?


7. Would you support a countywide sales tax to support public schools if Kansas courts uphold the legality of such a tax?


8. Are you concerned about the impact of Lawrence city limits stretching into the Perry-Lecompton school district?


9. In these tight budget times, are you more inclined to raise taxes or cut services to balance the budget?
