You Said It: Vote for Me!

On this week’s Shelby-Utica You Said It!, we are asking the five candidates who are running for three open seats on the Utica Community Schools Board of Education to give one last soapbox speech.

 In 30 seconds or less the candidates, Carl Territo, Ken Krolczyk, Gene Klida, Michelle Templeton and Steven Grady will tell you why they want to be elected to a six-year position on the UCS board.  One candidate’s response will be released each day.

Elections are May 3.

The Board of Education is responsible for the education of public school students, approving programs of study, textbooks and hiring of teachers and administrators. The board also endorses offerings such as adult and youth enrichment classes, early-childhood education and high school completion programs. It also oversees the construction and equipping of school buildings and obtains and budgets funds to operate the schools.
