Read the answers from all candidates.

Questions & Answers

1. What effect would the community (charter) schools have on the public schools in your district?

None whatsoever

2. Evaluate the adequacy of support services, beyond state standards, presently provided for special-needs students in your district.

The Mariemont School district excels in this area. We have three resource centers at the elementary, junior high and high school levels for tutoring of our L.D. students. We have provided physical therapy, school psychology and speech therapy, all beyond minimum state standards.

3. Has the use of proficiency tests in your school improved the education of students?

Yes, quite definitely. Mariemont students now rank in the top 15 schools out of 611 districts in the State of Ohio.

Responses to questions asked of each candidate are reproduced as submitted to the League, but formatted for Web display. Candidates were asked to limit their responses to 300 words for all 3 answers. Simple spelling or typographical errors were corrected after confirmation with the candidate.
