Attending a school board candidate forum can be beneficial for several reasons:

Informed Decision-Making: It allows community members to hear directly from the candidates about their visions, priorities, and plans for the school district. This firsthand information helps voters make informed decisions when casting their votes.

Understanding Candidate Positions: Forums provide an opportunity for candidates to express their views on key educational issues such as curriculum, funding, teacher retention, and school safety. Hearing these positions directly from the candidates can help voters understand where each candidate stands on important issues.

Engagement and Participation: Attending a forum demonstrates active engagement in the democratic process. It allows community members to voice their concerns, ask questions, and interact with the candidates, fostering a sense of participation and involvement in local governance.

Transparency: By attending a forum, citizens can witness the exchange of ideas and information in a transparent manner. This transparency is essential for building trust between elected officials and the community they serve.
