Meet the candidates for St. Cloud school board
ST. CLOUD – Seven candidates — including several familiar faces — are vying for four seats on the St. Cloud school board, the nonpartisan body that oversees the district of about 10,000 students, its policies and its superintendent.
All four incumbents who are up for re-election — Scott Andreasen, Al Dahlgren, Shannon Haws and Monica Segura-Schwartz — are in the mix, along with former school board member Bruce Hentges. Other candidates are Yoanna Ayala-Zaldana and Diana Fenton.
The elected candidates will join Zachary Dorholt, Natalie Copeland and Heather Weems on the board. Members serve four-year terms.
The Minnesota Star Tribune asked each candidate the following questions in advance of the election to help the voters decide. Answers may have been slightly edited for length and clarity. Candidates are listed alphabetically. Ayala-Zaldana did not respond to requests to return the questionnaire.
