School board candidate forum Wednesday, October 30

The Campbell slate was the first to hit the streets
with their signs.

The Mapp slate's signs also feature dark blue
with yellow and white lettering.

The Plainfield League of Women Voters (LWV) is holding a candidate forum for the Board of Education candidates next Wednesday, October 30. The forum will be held at duCret School of the Arts.
The original field of nine has shrunk with the with the withdrawal of Carolyn Thomas and the disqualification of former BOE member Dorien Hurtt for insufficient signatures.

What is left are two slates of three candidates each and one independent candidate, Eric Andrew.

The slates are 'For Our Children' -- composed of incumbents Carmencita Pile, Lynn Anderson-Person and newcomer Mack Rice. This slate is backed by Plainfield Democratic chairman Adrian O. Mapp.

The other slate is running as the 'Children First Team' and is made up of Sherrill Cassett-Denny, Willie Pat Humbree, and Paulina DeLeon. None have served previously; this slate is considered the 'John Campbell slate'.

There is some confusion about the start time of the forum. The LWV Facebook page lists the time as 6:00 to 9:00 PM. TAPinto says the forum starts at 6:30 PM.

duCret School of the Arts is at 1030 Central Avenue. Ample parking is available in the rear lot, with entrance to the auditorium off the parking lot.
