 The following information was taken from the Website of the Canton
Repository.  The
paper was reporting on a recent candidate night sponsored by Stark County
Education
Service Center.  I am forwarding this information about candidates for Ohio
Board of
Education, 8th District since their names were given to our Voter
Information Guide
editor too late to get anwers to candidate questionnaires for LWV Greater
Youngstown's
guide.

Deborah Cain

Candidate for: Ohio Board of Education, 8th District

Party: Democrat

Background: Seven-year member Lake Local Board of Education; retired Akron
City Schools
teacher

Position on public education: (Regarding charter schools) "I do not believe
people
should be making millions of dollars from our tax money." (Regarding
teaching
Creationism) I am a proponent of teaching evolution in the classroom. It is
a settled
science."

Jim Craig*

Candidate for: Ohio Board of Education, 8th District

Party: Republican

Background: State Board of Education, 4 1/2 years; former member Plain Local
Board of
Education+

Position on public education: "We are right in the middle of our budget
discussion now,
trying to decide what to recommend to the Legislature. The problem is, all
we do is make
a recommendation, then they and the governor decide on a final budget. The
property tax
is an archaic system. We really have to change the way the schools are
funded. It's
wrong to keep putting the burden on the local schools to pass operating
levies."
