In this episode, we talk with three candidates for the Shaker Heights School Board of Education who have endorsed Issue 13. In the order in which they first appear in the opening remarks on the show, they are:

• Pam Scott
• Doug Wang
• Andrea Boyd

In this discussion, I ask each of the candidates to talk about how they came to Shaker, why this election is important, what they believe they can bring to the Board, and where they think the Board can improve.

We also discuss Issue 13. I ask each candidate to articulate their perspective, how they came to support the plan, and why they believe citizens should vote for Issue 13.

Finally, I ask each of the candidates to respond to this question: “If someone who is opposed to Issue 13 were sitting with us at the table today, what would you say to them?”
