Four of the six candidates for the Coffeyville Board of Education addressed voters during a Candidates Forum last night sponsored by KGGF and the Coffeyville Chamber of Commerce. When asked about high property taxes Cindy Price says she thinks the school district has done well at holding down taxes, but some of the mill levy rate depends on the state.
Candidate and current School Board member Jason Barnett says he thinks the schools have done a good job.
Another topic discussed was standardized testing and Matt Jordan says he doesn’t think the tests are a good measure of student success and the state should look at alternatives.
Marcus Kastler also spoke on the need for preparation when it comes to facilities maintenance.
The election is set for November 7th.
