Introductory overview followed by presentation of 2 School Board Candidates with opposing views.

School board candidates agree that educating our children is the first priority but hold opposing views regarding funding.

School Board Candidate A stresses that the schools need more money to do the job right. He argues:

• Because schools are under-funded, classes are too large and school buildings are falling apart.
• Schools also need more funding to invest in new computer and media technologies. These are the wave of the future and essential for a good education today.

School Board Candidate B stresses that the schools don't need more money, they need to use their money better. He argues:

• Increasing school budgets has not led to better results in the past. If the budget were increased, it would get eaten up by administration and too little would get to the classroom.
• The schools need to discipline their budgets, cut administrative fat and get rid of the few teachers who are not up to the job.
