To the Editor:
I have proposed that those running for Pottsgrove School Board have a 'Debate of Issues' to give the voters an opportunity to ask direct questions of all those running for school board, so they can make a well informed educated decision in who they vote for.

There has been some consideration from each side as to whether they want to do this or not. At least one has said they would do the debate if the community wanted it.
I know as a Pottsgrove resident, I would benefit – and be interested – in seeing the two sides together in a friendly and professional debate of the issues, and I have a funny feeling many others in the community as well.
