Flcrtnct SC M2-0491 29 | PACE Prob es Board Candidates Candidates running for the Hoke County Board of Education recently responded to question naires sent to them by the Hoke County PACE Committee (Political Action Committee for Education). PACE is the political division of the NCAE ? North Carolina Association of Educators. The NCAE- PACE has endorsed many political candidates throughout the state for the November 2 election. Its purpose is to support (Finan cially and otherwise) candidates whose prime concern is the im provement of education (for teachers and students) within our state. In the last election, 86^0 of those endorsed were elected. The local PACE Committee chose not to endorse any particular candidate, but instead to inform its members, and the public of the responses received from each can didate. PACE Chairperson and NCAE President of Hoke County, Darlene Clark, said about the elec tion: "It is my hope, and that of the PACE Committee that voters will be very open-minded when voting for school board can didates. Our local board needs leaders, not followers! "We need a local board that tru ly believes that our system is in dire need of positive changes. It is my hope that this election does not become one of race against race, but. instead, a "race" to choose those who appear to be the most dedicated and concerned in dividuals that want to help the plight of teachers and the condi tions under which we work," she said. NCAE members recently evaluated their local unit and in doing so, stated their prime con cerns in this system. The most frequent concerns were improvements of the school buildings, more materials and sup plies, and a better working rela tionship with the Board of Educa tion' It ;s hoped that those elected will certainly work to improve these concerns," Mrs. Clark said. "The best way for those con cerns to be met is for concerned citizens to vote for the candidates who best socak to these issues," added Mrs. Clark. "It is my hope that everyone will vote in the November 2 election!" Here are the results of the ques tionn&ir<*. Candidate Ruddy Blu? din not respond. Rep.
