AAUW Carlisle joined the YWCA Carlisle/Cumberland County, Hope Station and League of Women Voters to sponsor a Carlisle Area School District (CASD) Candidate Forum on May 3, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom.

The Carlisle Area School District has four open school board positions in the upcoming election on May 18, 2021. The CASD Candidate Forum is an opportunity for the voting public to meet the candidates and get to know their qualifications, priorities and policy positions.

The six candidates vying for the open school board positions are: Joanna Birchett, Sue Bower, Rick Coplen, Anne Lauritzen, David Miller and Jerry W Stirkey.

Candidates will respond to questions around issues of interest in the Carlisle Area School District presented by moderator Katie Perkowski. The questions are developed in advance by the organizing committee with input from the sponsoring organizations. Additional questions will also be taken from the audience during the webinar.
