Francis Howell Central is hosting a Board of Education Candidate forum on March 31, from 7–8:30 p.m. in the auditorium (doors will open at 6:30 p.m.), where the district community will hear from the candidates and be able to ask them questions. FHC Publications reached out to all six of the candidates in order to give an overview of what the candidates stand for and hope to accomplish, and their responses may be found below. The forum will be livestreamed on FHCtoday.com through YouTube for those unable to make it.

During the forum, there will be a 30-minute period for the community to ask questions. There will be notecards handed out, with a limit of one question per person. Constituents will be asked to write only their name and question.
