LENOX â Six candidates vying for three School Committee slots called for a wide range of educational options and equal opportunities for all students, whether or not they are college-bound, during a remote campaign forum this week.
Also vigorously debated was whether to continue grouping students in classes according to academic ability through a âtrackingâ system.
Several candidates emphasized a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
At least 110 people viewed the Zoom session Wednesday night, organized by the Morris Elementary School PTO and moderated by School Committee Chairman Robert Vaughan. Eight questions from the public, submitted in advance, were posed by Priscilla France of the PTO.
