<div>The following information was taken from the Website of the Canton Repository. The<br>paper was reporting on a recent candidate night sponsored by Stark County Education<br>Service Center. I am forwarding this information about candidates for Ohio Board of
<br>Education, 8th District since their names were given to our Voter Information Guide<br>editor too late to get anwers to candidate questionnaires for LWV Greater Youngstown's<br>guide.<br><br>Marion Gillette (League member)
<br><br><br><br>Deborah Cain<br><br>Candidate for: Ohio Board of Education, 8th District<br><br>Party: Democrat<br><br>Background: Seven-year member Lake Local Board of Education; retired Akron City Schools<br>teacher<br>
<br>Position on public education: (Regarding charter schools) "I do not believe people<br>should be making millions of dollars from our tax money." (Regarding teaching<br>Creationism) I am a proponent of teaching evolution in the classroom. It is a settled
<br>science."<br><br>Jim Craig*<br><br>Candidate for: Ohio Board of Education, 8th District<br><br>Party: Republican<br><br>Background: State Board of Education, 4 1/2 years; former member Plain Local Board of<br>Education+
<br><br>Position on public education: "We are right in the middle of our budget discussion now,<br>trying to decide what to recommend to the Legislature. The problem is, all we do is make<br>a recommendation, then they and the governor decide on a final budget. The property tax
<br>is an archaic system. We really have to change the way the schools are funded. It's<br>wrong to keep putting the burden on the local schools to pass operating levies."<br><br>* Did not attend the forum; position from interview or information sheet
