The League of Women Voters – Whitewater Area School Board Candidate Forum on March 15 brought out a great turnout of citizens wishing to hear the views of the four candidates running for the Whitewater Unified School District board. Two seats are open: those of Miguel Aranda and Jennifer Kienbaum, both of whom are running for re-election. The other candidates are Nick Baldwin and Wayne Redenius.
