This is the sixth, and probably the last, in a series of interviews with candidates for the Polk Schools Board of Education. If you haven’t already listened to the first interview, with Mike Ashworth, please find the time for at least the first few minutes, as I supply an overview of the elections, which seats are up for grabs, and an explanation of why I’m interviewing some candidates and not others.
In this episode I talk with Sherry Page, who has been the member of the board for Green Creek for 24 years. She’s facing several challengers this year, including Brittany Klimstra, whom I interviewed a few episodes back. Sherry’s the chief operating officer for the Rug and Home furniture and decor chain and though she now spends a lot of her working days at their Raleigh location, she found the time to talk with me the other day at the Green Creek Community Center, which used to be a school she knews well.
