The League of Women Voters of Wayzata-Plymouth, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to fostering informed and active participation in government, convened a public forum this week for candidates seeking election to the Wayzata School Board. Six community members—Laura Conway, Heidi Kader, Alicia Liddle, Julie Joseph, Kate Knight, and Milind Sohoni—took the stage to share their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the district.
Over the course of the evening, candidates addressed a wide range of questions, from school safety and student mental health to budget priorities, facility needs, and the role of student voice on the board. The discussion also highlighted how board members can collaborate across differing viewpoints, engage families and staff in the upcoming superintendent search, and navigate emerging issues such as artificial intelligence in education.
Wayzata.com will provide a full narrative on the candidates’ responses and priorities in the coming weeks, offering readers a closer look at where each stands on the key issues shaping the future of the district.
