Arturo Jimenez, the race's only incumbent, did not answer the survey, but did submit a statement. "Due to the nature of your survey, unfortunately, I had to leave the questions unanswered," it said. "Education policy is not a collection of statements that can be boiled down to simple multiple choice questions."
John Daniel, a candidate for the board's at-large seat, also did not respond.
Of the seven who did, A+ Denver points out that the organization finds it "encouraging" that three candidates -- Anne Rowe, Jennifer Draper Carson and Happy Haynes -- agree that teacher employment and pay should be based on student growth.
The organization also noted that it's pleased four candidates -- Rowe, Haynes, Draper Carson and Jacqui Shumway -- agree that schools with poor performance for two years should be "restarted or phased out... or replaced." Frank Deserino strongly disagreed. Emily Sirota was neutral and Roger Kilgore left that question blank.
See the full results below. A+ Denver will host a candidate forum on Tuesday, October 18 at 6 p.m. at the University of Denver Davis Auditorium. The election is November 1.
