In advance of Burlington’s town elections on April 1, BCAT is hosting a debate between three candidates running for two contested seats on the town School Committee.
The three candidates, sitting Committee Chair Katherine Bond and Committee Vice-Chair Carl Foss, and challenger Jeremy Brooks, recently answered BCAT’s candidate questionnaires.
The debate will be available online on March 17 and will also air on BCAT.
BCAT will also host candidate forums with Select Board Member Jim Tigges, who is running for reelection unopposed; Planning Board candidates Toni Ann Natola and Jessica Sutherland; and Recreation Commission candidates Brian Pupa and Lindsay Carlson.
More information on how to vote is available here.
