# Board Candidate Forum at West Valley High 2026

The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District held a Board Candidate Forum on September 24, 2026, featuring candidates discussing key educational issues. While the forum primarily focused on topics such as student belonging, inclusivity, bullying policies, school lunch nutrition, vaping, and the separation of church and state, there were no direct procurement or contracting discussions. Candidates addressed concerns about school funding levels, curriculum inclusivity, and health and safety policies, but no specific contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or budget allocations were mentioned during the meeting.
