The Uinta County School District No. 1 hosted a candidate forum for the upcoming school board elections, scheduled for November 5, 2024. The event, aimed at providing a platform for candidates to discuss key educational issues, began with the Pledge of Allegiance and was attended by community members both in-person and online.

Candidates were given structured opportunities to present their views, with each participant allotted one minute for an opening statement and responses to a series of questions. The questions were curated from submissions by district staff and the local community, ensuring that the forum addressed relevant concerns in education.

The forum was organized with clear procedures to maintain order and respect among candidates, with a visible timer to enforce time limits. Notably, candidate David Peterson was absent due to a family commitment but submitted a closing statement for the event.

The forum represents an important step in the electoral process, allowing candidates to articulate their positions and engage with the community on educational priorities.
