Sept. 24, 2002 – All parents and interested public are invited to attend two "2002 Meet the Candidates" forums at Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School auditorium.
The first forum, for candidates for governor and delegate to Congress, is set for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16.
The second forum, for candidates campaigning for seats in the 25th Legislature, will be held at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23.
The school's social studies department, in collaboration with students and parents, has formulated a series of questions to be posed. Candidates will be allotted three minutes to respond, along with two additional minutes to address an issue of their choosing.
Mock elections at Boschulte School, which have traditionally been good pre-election indicators of potential front-runners, said a release from the V.I. Education Department, will be conducted on Thursday, Oct. 24. Both students and teachers will participate in this activity.
