Meet Providence school board members tonight

Residents tonight can meet the 13 candidates who are vying for three spots on the Providence School Board.

Two of the three members whose terms are set to expire in January -- the board’s current president, Mary McClure, and board member Ronnie Young -- are reapplying for their positions.

Umberto Crenca is not seeking another term.

Pich Chhouen, Rebecca Pazienza, Grace Brown, Ines Merchan, Damien Bandino, Eboney Brown, Victoria Richter, Brian Lalli, Maurice Methot, Christine Wilford and Philip Gould are also seeking positions on the board.

Attendees can write down questions for the applicants which will be read aloud at the end of the forum, which begins at 6 p.m. at the Providence Public Safety Complex.

The event will be moderated by a representative from Rhode Island Kids Count.

A four-member nominating commission will recommend finalists to Mayor David Cicilline. He will appoint them and refer them to City Council.

The new members will be sworn into office in January.
