District 65 Candidate video interview: Daniel Lyonsmith

As part of our ongoing reporting on this election cycle, the Roundtable organized all 12 candidates who ran for a seat in the school authority Evanston/Skokie District 65 for an interview recorded on video in our office. We have treated five topics with every candidate: the budget problems of the district, the potential school closings, the academic achievements, the use of technologies in the classroom and why they decided on the management. We have limited every answer to four minutes and the overall interviews to 20 minutes. You can watch a complete play list of all 12 videos on YouTube Here. We have also published written questionnaires with every candidate that you can find in our Election side.

The executive editor Duncan Agnew carried out the interviews, intern Sophia Jackson, and our partners from the recorded Liga of the voters of Evanston Haved time and helped to write interview questions.

In the following you will find our interview with Daniel Lyonsmith, a regional director of the US Ministry of Labor and an ETHS, Nichols Middle School and Washington Elementary Parent. His written questionnaire is visible Here.
