The Schools Committee of the South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race hosted its 10th Annual Forum for Candidates for the Board of Education on Tuesday evening, October 27 at Marshall Elementary School in South Orange.
The candidates were asked to respond to questions about the relationship between integration and cultural competency; student academic placement; the minority achievement gap; and a racially and culturally diverse staff. Following those responses, candidates took questions from audience members that were written on index cards and collected by volunteers.
