HEADLINES FOR OCTOBER 19, 2007
A member of the audience asks the school board candidates a question during a candidate forum on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The candidates are: (from left) Beth Hane, Dean Brown, Rolf Mohwinkel, Melissa Brings, and Patti Pokorney. Education funding was talked about fairly often during a School Board Candidate Forum held at the Buffalo City Center on Tuesday evening, Oct. 9. After all, the school board election takes place on Nov. 6 at the same time as a three-question levy referendum. The event was organized by the Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Joe Carlson of KRWC Radio. Rolf Mohwinkel, a longtime teacher and three-term school board member, said no gravy train provides money for the schools, and funding issues �are always going to be there.� The school district has to �live with what it gets.� But it has the option of letting the voters decide on providing more than the state provides.
