Six candidates for the Aspen school board participated in a forum Oct. 14 at the Aspen District Theater. The candidates, from left, are Larry Butler, John Galambos, Christa Gieszl, Stacey Weiss, Anna Zane and Susan Zimet.

Voters this year will be filling three open seats on the Aspen School District board. Local media outlets hosted a forum Oct. 14 to ask the candidates questions about the district’s response to COVID-19, student mental health, the culture of the district, equity, teacher compensation, and other issues.

Please listen to our report, above, for highlights. Voters in the district have until Nov. 2 to turn in their ballots.
