Madison School Board Candidates Make Final Push

Chris Woodard:

Tonight Madison School Board candidates are making a last minute push for votes.

4 people are battling for 2 seats with some big decisions looming.

Candidate Nichelle Nichols says, "I think it's really important that people are paying attention."

It is a much different political world in Madison than we've seen in years past.

Incumbent Arlene Silveira says, "I've never seen quite this much attention before but I think it's great"

At this point the arguments are coming fast and furious.

Candidate Mary Burke says, "I sort of have about 20 years more of experience."

Silveira says, "I think I'm the candidate who has actually made changes."

Nichols says, "I don't know that the incumbent is always as honest about areas where we need to improve."

One of the two battles is between incumbent and 6 year board member Silveira and newcomer Nichols.

Silveira says her experience is important.
