You are invited to Meet the Candidates for the East Grand Rapids Public Schools' Board of Education. On Monday, October 7th, at 7:00 p.m. the EGR PTO Council is hosting a Board Candidate Forum in the East Grand Rapids High School Performing Art Center (PAC).
In preparation for the event, we are sharing Candidate Profile Summaries and are seeking questions pertaining to the Board of Education Responsibilities, and the District's Strategic Plan. Due to the number of candidates and potential attendees, we are soliciting questions in advance of the event. If you have questions you would like to submit, please do so through this Google Form by September 30, by 9:00 p.m.
We hope you are able to attend and learn more about each candidate prior to the November 5 election.
