Dearborn voters on Tuesday, Oct. 5 will have a chance to meet with candidates vying to fill a seat on the Dearborn School Board.

The forum will take place from 7 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. in the Board Room of the Ten Eyke Administration Building, 18700 Audette, in Dearborn. Dearborn community access television will rebroadcast the forum after the event.

The Dearborn Council of the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and the League of Women Voters Dearborn/Dearborn Heights are teaming up to host the candidate forum in anticipation of this November’s election for Dearborn School Board. Thomas Trimble will moderate and candidates will answer questions submitted by the public.

Dearborn voters are being asked to choose between two familiar faces for the one open school board seat.

Roxanne McDonald, who ran unsuccessfully in 2009, is the only challenger to file against Dearborn school board incumbent James Schoolmaster.

McDonald is the mother of three sons, two still in Dearborn Public Schools and one serving in the military. She is a former vice president of PTSA and served four years on Nowlin PTA’ s executive board. A longtime Dearborn resident, she is a Dearborn High School graduate and earned two associate’s degrees from Henry Ford Community College.

Incumbent Schoolmaster is seeking his fourth term on the board. A practicing attorney, Schoolmaster chairs the school board’s finance committee. He has two children who are graduates of Dearborn High School and his wife, Darlene, was a long-time teacher in the district.
