Questions for a board candidate
During a meeting yesterday, Carroll County school board members narrowed down a list of questions for potential candidates to fill a vacant board seat. (Board member Thomas Hiltz resigned in late March.)
Out of more than 50 questions created by the board and students, these three were selected to ask candidates during interviews next Monday, May 7, at 1:30 p.m.:
1. What do you think are the most pertinent issues facing Carroll County students and the school system?
2. Why are you choosing to seek appointment for the school board?
3. What are your priorities for capital and operating budgets for Carroll County public schools?
What questions would you ask a prospective board member? What would you like to see in someone joining your school board?

3) How do you propose to improve teacher motivation, morale, and retention?
