Meet the Candidates: East Penn School Board

Patch Exclusive: Get to know the candidates for East Penn School Board by reading their answers to 10 basic questions.

On March 14, Patch began contacting all 12 candidates running for East Penn School Board. Each candidate was sent the same 10 questions and were given until March 27 to respond.

Today, in a Patch exclusive, their answers are presented in full. The answers are limited to no more than 150 words. And those responses are unedited and appear here as they were sent to us.

Ten of the 12 original candidates cross-filed as both Democrats and Republicans. That means they will appear on both ballots in the primary, May 17. One candidate, Fawn Strunk, recently withdrew from the race.
