PUSD forum canceled
Unfortunately the Pleasanton Weekly’s candidate forum for Pleasanton Unified School District Board of Trustees, originally scheduled for this Tuesday (Oct. 4), has been canceled due to illness.
While the Weekly and its partners are exploring other options, given there will be less than a month before the election, it is unlikely that the forum will be able to be rescheduled. Look for alternative coverage of the PUSD election in the Weekly soon.
In other news, the Weekly’s election forum for Dublin Unified School District Board of Trustees is back on the schedule for this Thursday (Oct. 6) after late confirmations from some candidates.
Participating in the Zoom-based forum will be incumbent William Kuo for Trustee Area 3 and challenger Sameer Hakim for Area 5. Area 3 challenger John Wu was a late cancellation due to a family issue, and Trustee Dan Cherrier of Area 5 declined the invitation. Area 2 newcomer Kristen Speck, who is unopposed, will also not attend.
Moderated by the Weekly and presented in partnership with the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and GFWC Dublin San Ramon Women’s Club, the DUSD forum will run from 6-7 p.m. as a live webinar and a videorecording available after the fact.
It is one of two forums on the Weekly’s schedule for this week.
The three candidates for Dublin City Council (Jean Josey, Kashef Qaadri and Lynna Lan Tien Nguyen Do) will debate key issues from 6-7 p.m. Monday (Oct. 3). A brief Q&A for candidates in Dublin San Ramon Services District will follow that night.
