COLUMBIA Mo. (KMIZ)
Columbia Board of Education candidates will field questions from teachers at a virtual forum Thursday hosted by the Columbia National Education Association.
The forum takes place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The public is invited but must register to receive a link here.
Five candidates are seeking two board seats in the April 6 election: incumbent Teresa Maledy, Lucas Neal, Aron Saylor, Katherine Sasser and Jeanne Snodgrass. My decision to withdraw from the race was a difficult one to make because I really enjoy serving on the board of education. However, at this point in my life, I need to spend more time with my family, Blackburn said.
