MARIETTA — Cobb Board of Education candidates touched on Race to the Top and proposed Interim Superintendent Chris Ragsdale during a Thursday night forum.
Sponsored by the Cobb County Republican Women’s Club, the forum was in the Cobb County commission chambers.
Three of the seven school board members are up for re-election this year.
In Post 2, Tim Stultz is challenged by retired Cobb educator Susan Thayer and Wells Fargo lending officer Jeff Abel for the Smyrna-area seat. Whoever wins the May 20 Republican primary faces Democrat Kenya Pierre of Smyrna, an attorney, in November.
Post 6, representing the east Cobb area, pits incumbent Scott Sweeney against Kevin Nicholas, director with PGi, a global video and audio technology company, who has three children in the school district.
Board Chairwoman Kathleen Angelucci is not seeking re-election in the Post 4 seat, leaving Lockheed Martin logistics analyst and grandfather of two David Chastain and retired Marietta Sixth Grade Academy Principal Bill Scott to compete for the north-central Cobb seat.
Candidates were given one to two minutes to answer each question.
