The League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh regrets that it must cancel the forum for candidates for the Mt. Lebanon School Board. Despite having proposed three possible dates for the forum, the majority of candidates were not available for any of them. Not being able to present at least a majority of the seven candidates, the League felt that it could not offer a fair and equitable opportunity for all viewpoints to be heard.
The LWVGP thanks the Mt. Lebanon PTA Council for its assistance in making site arrangements for the forum and doing publicity. We regret the inconvenience this decision causes the PTA Council and the A. P. Government students who were going to serve as greeters.
The LWVGP looks forward to working with the Mt. Lebanon PTA Council in the future.

Primary and Special Election News UPDATED
The League of Women Voters is sponsoring a debate for the 42nd State House District special election. It will be held on May 15, 2013, 7 PM, at the Bethel Municipal Building. If you have questions for George Brown, Dan Miller, or Dan Remely, this is your opportunity to submit questions. All questions submitted that evening will be subject to the approval of the League of Women Voters moderator(s).
Finally, some news about the school board race! The League of Women Voters will be sponsoring a "Meet the Candidates" night at Jefferson Middle School on May 8, 2013 at 7 PM. Again, you can submit questions on index cards which will be subject to the approval of the League of Women Voters moderators. [Note: Event has been canceled. See update below.]
It is been an extremely quiet race for school board. Dan Remely is running alone, but there is a slate for the four remaining candidates. Their website is here. I received an email this morning about one of the candidates, Durwood Hill.
Update April 30, 2013 11:00 AM The Candidate's Forum scheduled for May 8, 2013 has been canceled. It is my understanding that the PTA canceled the forum due to lack of interest. In its place, the school board candidates will provide written responses to a uniform set of questions and the responses will be posted online.
In addition, Durwood Hill asked me to share this with Lebo Citizens readers:

Durwood Hill is running for school board and kicking off his campaign with a series of community meetings. These are intended to be informal and honest conversations. Attached is a flyer with meeting information, hope you are able to join Durwood at one of these times. Also, please feel free to pass along to other community members, especially friends and family outside the Lincoln area.When I met Durwood, I told him that I would never vote for Mary Birks and that I really didn't know anything about him. I promised that I would share his information here on Lebo Citizens. I am glad to see that he is reaching out to the community.
Durwood is running as part of a slate (http://www.leboeie.com/durwood-hill/); however, these meetings are set up by Durwood alone. If you have any questions, you can contact me at montoyase@verizon.net.

I took a look at the blog and it probably should be noted that, while friends of mine organized the events, I am running with a slate of candidates and they all plan to attend some of the events. I will be at every event and will be accompanied by various members of our slate.

Hooray For May
May is finally here. Lots of things happening this month. On May 4, 2011, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM, the League of Women Voters and Mt. Lebanon Council PTA are again co-sponsoring the Candidates Forum of Mt. Lebanon School Board and Commission candidates. It will be held in the Mellon Middle School Auditorium. Part One, from 7 to 8:15, will be for the School Board Candidates, while Part Two, from 8:15 to 9:30 PM, will be for the Commissioner Candidates.
For those of you unfamiliar with the format, questions are submitted in written form by the audience. Index cards are handed out to people as they arrive and are submitted during the forum.
We will not be recording the forum since the PTA is working on arrangements for Mt. Lebanon High School students to tape the event. It will be aired on the Municipal cable channel, but times and dates have not been established. No other taping will be permitted.
On May 17, Mt. Lebanon voters will be able to cast their votes for the candidates of their choice. This is your opportunity to vote for up to five School Board Directors and Commissioners for Wards 1, 3, or 5. Don't forget your right to write in candidates' names, if necessary.
