As a student enrolled in the Columbia County school system, I am very concerned with inner workings of schools and the path our education system is currently on. With the superintendent race approaching us, I asked the public to give some questions they would ask the candidates. I, then, sent the questions to the three men running for the position: LC Bradley, Lex Carswell and incumbent Terry Huddleston. Below are the questions I asked the candidates, follow by their responses and websites.
1. Can you tell us exactly what a superintendent does and what are your goals and/or plans of being superintendent? 2. How much experience do you have working in the school system? 3. What is your philosophy of education and its purpose in society? 4. How will you assess the District's current levels of performance; program effectiveness and teacher effectiveness? 5. What are your views on standardized testing and Common Core? 6. What do you think about student input when it comes to board decisions? 7. How will you encourage parent involvement in their children's education and attendance at board meetings? 8. Can you tell us your views on the budget? How much do and/or should we spend, and where should we distribute it? 9. Are there any specific areas where you would like to see improvement, like graduation rates, participation in extracurricular activities, etc? 10. What are you going to bring sub par schools, ones that receive Cs and below, up to a passing level? 11. Do you support school choice?
