Leadership Whitley County will be hosting the school board candidate forum on Thursday, October 30 at 6:30 p.m. in Newell Rice Auditorium at Columbia City High School.
According to Leadership Whitley County’s executive director Kelley Sheiss, all candidates were invited to attend the forum and all but one will attend.
Forum participants will include: Chris Bechtold, Columbia City; Stan Meyer, Columbia City; Deb Hiss, Union Township; Steve Hively, Jefferson Township; Eric Horvath, Columbia City; James Renbarger, Washington Township; Don Smith, Etna Troy Township; and Jill Western, Etna Troy Township.
Candidate Mark Roach will be unable to attend due to a prior commitment that evening.
The Leadership Whitley County policy council has formulated questions for the candidates to answer.
Talk of the Town will be recording the event in hopes of providing coverage for those unable to attend the event in person, but who are interested in hearing what the candidates have to say.
