Event will be Sept. 17 at Pietro's No. 2 in Vacaville

The Vaca Valley Tea Party will hold a public forum in mid-September for the nine candidates seeking four trustee seats on Vacaville Unified governing board.

Organizers said the event will 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 17 at Pietro's No. 2, at 679 Merchant St., Vacaville. Pizza and salad will be served.

Each candidate will have an opportunity for a short statement, three to five minutes.

In a brief press release, Colleen Britton, president of the organization, said that candidates can expect to be called upon to "address the following areas of interest to our members and the community":

What are your qualifications and why are you interested in becoming a school board member? What are your top three priorities for the district? What is your assessment of Common Core and its future? What is your position on the $194 million school bond, Measure A, that will be on the Nov. 4 ballot?

If time permits, more questions, suggested by members, may be asked, said Britton, who requested that candidates bring any promotional literature to share.

The candidates are incumbent Michele "Shelley" Dally, incumbent David McCallum, incumbent Whit Whitman, incumbent Chris Flask, Jeremy Jeffreys, Judith Ruggiero, Tracee Stacy, Deloris Roach, and Shawn Windham.
