Board to Interview Four District 5 Candidates

November 11, 2004
The Board of Education has selected four candidates from among the seven individuals who applied to become the District 5 representative following the resignation of Dr. Henry Lee. The term will end in November 2006.

The four candidates -- Mary T. Edwards, Philip S. Kauffman, Nancy Navarro, and Leslie K. Ridgway -- will be interviewed by the members of the Board of Education on Saturday, November 20, beginning at 9:15 a.m. in Room 127, Carver Educational Services Center, 850 Hungerford Drive in Rockville. The interviews are open to the public.

The interviews are a continuation of the process by Board members to assess the qualifications of the candidates for appointment. Each interview will involve a structured question and answer session, in which the candidates will know the questions in advance. The questions focus on the candidates' perceptions of the role of a Board member, professional and civic experiences, priorities, assessment of the needs of District 5, and availability for extensive meetings and other public commitments.

Board members selected the four finalists following a review of information submitted by each prospective applicant. The Board will vote on the appointment at a public meeting convening immediately following the conclusion of the interviews. The newly appointed Board member will be sworn in on December 1 at 7:30 p.m.
