Early voting is now underway in Orange County, and six candidates are on the ballot for three open seats on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School Board. How do the candidates differ from each other, and where do they stand on the issues?

In September, the CHCCS PTA Council held an online candidates’ forum, co-hosted by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Association of Educators, El Centro Hispano, and the League of Women Voters of Orange, Durham, and Chatham Counties. 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck served as moderator.

Watch the forum below.

 

Early voting in Orange County runs through Saturday, October 30, with Election Day set for Tuesday, November 2. For more election coverage and candidate introductions, visit Chapelboro’s Local Election Coverage page.
