Process:

ESSA and FEA members jointly interview borough assembly and school board candidates. All candidates are invited to participate. All FEA members are invited to participate in the interview process or simply to watch. Candidates who accept the invitation to participate receive the questions in advance. The same questions are asked of each candidate for elected office. Those FEA members who participate in the interviews share their thoughts along with candidates’ comments with all interested FEA members during an announced general assembly meeting. During the general membership meeting, any FEA member can ask questions and share thoughts. Following discussion, the members attending the general membership meeting vote on which candidates to recommend.

Thank you to those members who participated in our PACE interviews over two evenings and to everyone who attended our general membership meeting.
