Two candidates for the Nowata School Board participate in a forum. Margie Learned and Rob Parrish appeared before teachers and residents of the Nowata school district to discuss attendance and connecting with teachers and students.
Learned, who has been on the board for two years, has a background in teaching at Union High School in Tulsa. She says her goals are to continue to improve Nowata Public Schools. Parrish has grown up within the Nowata community and is currently the Chairman of the Nowata Municipal Authority which oversees the water supply. He says a lack of opportunities can create a decrease in attendance.
The election is on Tuesday, April 7th.
