School Board Debate

We're getting a preview of the November elections here locally with a contested race for the at-large position on the Texarkana Arkansas School Board. Candidates Glen Spears and Charles Denmon squared off at a forum last night at Big Jake's Barbecue on Arkansas Boulevard sponsored by the Miller County Patriots. The candidates were largely in agreement but did set out a few differences. Questions from the audience focused on the ability of TASD to compete with the other three Texas school districts in the city. Early voting for this race began yesterday, and election day is September 21.
