Chalkbeat presents: Candidate forum for Shelby County Schools board

Get to know candidates running for the Shelby County Schools board before elections in August. In conjunction with our partners, Chalkbeat is hosting a forum for candidates on July 19. Students from throughout Shelby County, as well as Chalkbeat journalists, will ask candidates about their stances on testing, school safety, student discipline, and more.

Do you have a question you want to ask your school board candidate? Feel free to email us at tn.tips@chalkbeat.org or comment below, and please come on July 19 ready to listen and ask great questions.

Need a primer on who is running? We’ve got you covered: https://www.chalkbeat.org/posts/tn/2018/06/13/memphis-school-board-candidates-speak-out-on-what-they-want-to-change/
