Many of you have asked me if I responded to the questionnaire distibuted by EduKalb. I did, and my biography/highlight was published at the beginning of August. Last Thursday, September 16th I had the great priviledge of participating in an EduKalb interview at the Holiday Inn in downtown Decatur. I felt like the interview went well, and I had some good conversation about the DCSS with the interviewers. All the candidates were interviewed that day, and EduKalb will be posting their findings sometime soon on their site. Candidate questionnaires have been posted to the EduKalb site. Here is a link to my page: http://edukalb.org/?page_id=400

On Thursday, October 7th, EduKalb and the League of Women Voter's will be hosting at School Board candidate debate in the theatre at DeKalb Medical Center. The debate will include most all candidates, although I did see that our incumbent is unable to attend, and will be from 6:30 to 9 pm. It is open the public. The League of Women Voters have also compiled a voter guide ( I submitted answers to questions for this) and it will be published online at the Champion and in the AJC.

Many of you have asked for pins and signs and will have both in the next couple of weeks.
