School board candidate forum is tonight at CCHS
Before you head into the voting booth next month or send in those absentee ballots, consider attending the Whitley County Consolidated Schools Board Candidates’ Forum at Columbia City High School this evening.
Hosted by the Whitley County Community Foundation, the event will take place tonight, October 26, at 7 p.m. at the CCHS Auditorium. The high school is located at 600 N. Whitley Street.
In all, nine candidates are running for four available seats on the WCCS board of trustees. Two seats are open in Columbia City. The four candidates seeking those spots include Don Armstrong, Herschel Lee Aumsbaugh, Christopher Alan Bechtold and Eric Horvath. In Thorncreek Township, Richard W. Eckert, Leah C. Heaston and Brooks Langeloh will vie for one open seat. Voters will choose between Timothy J. Bloom and Terry L. Smith for the Columbia Township seat.
Three of the candidates are incumbents: Don Armstrong, Tim Bloom, and Brooks Langeloh. As of press time, each incumbent has agreed to participate in the forum, as have challengers Christopher Bechtold and Eric Horvath. Terry Smith and Richard Eckert indicated they will be out of town. Leah Heaston and Herschel Lee Aumsbaugh have not responded to the invitation.
Each candidate present will be given time to express their views, making short speeches and answer questions.
