Diversity, pandemic topics for Westford school board hopefuls at forum

Wicked Local
WESTFORD -- School Committee candidates answered questions about inclusion, budget issues the pandemic and more at an April 14 candidates' forum.
The forum was sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Westford. The forum also included Select Board candidates Eric Barber-Mingo and John Cunningham, as well as candidates for uncontested seats.
The three open School Committee seats have drawn six candidates.
Questions came from the league, and from town residents.
Diversity, inclusion
A questioner asked candidates how the School Committee and the district should address racism, including a review of school curriculum.
Newcomer Kathryn Clear said, "A full evaluation ... needs to be carried out with this curriculum. We are becoming a more diverse community, which I love. I think that brings so many good qualities to a community."
