Six of the nine seats on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education are up for grabs this November. These elections are nonpartisan, and two of them will feature no incumbent, meaning guaranteed fresh faces on the board. To help you learn about the candidates and decide, WFAE asked each candidate to answer a questionnaire about their experience, priorities and position on important issues. Their answers have been edited for typos, but are otherwise presented in full.
