Ann Arbor School Board Candidates: Background Information

Below, you will find my first foray into the Ann Arbor school board candidates in the upcoming election. There will be more to come, and as I add information, some of it will be added in separate posts, but this will be the "source post." By which I mean, come to this post and you should find links to the information that you need.

Also, Ed Vielmetti has set up an Arborwiki page for the election. You can actually add information there yourself, or you can send it to him to add.

There is also information at the Ballotpedia website: http://ballotpedia.org/Ann_Arbor_Public_Schools_elections_(2014)

Two of the candidates: Christine Stead and Susan Baskett--are incumbents. Depending on whether you have liked what they are doing, or you have not, you might decide you definitely want to support them or you definitely don't want to support them.

A friend asked me the other day if I knew who I was voting for yet. And I don't. I have some thoughts, but what that should tell you is: a) there are more good candidates than there are positions (4), and b) I'm looking for information to help me discern my decisions too!
