Last night, the Bus Project sponsored a debate between the candidates for the Zone 4 School Board seat. This election is on May 17th, so it’s well past time to figure out who I’m voting for.

I knew nothing about the candidates going in; I didn’t even know which Zone was number 4! (Turns out it’s North Portland.) But I came out of the debate with a favorite candidate and a far better concept of what issues are facing Portland schools.

There are more debates coming up, so go learn about these guys. Dan Ryan, one of the Zone 4 candidates has a list of upcoming debates on his site.

And I still don’t know anything about the other zones. If you do, fill us in with a comment.
