WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1998 Athens School Board candidates are upbeat The three candidates for Athens Board of Education told an audience of 39 voters Monday night that school and community teamwork, parent involvement and good communication will keep the local school system successful.

Answering questions mostly given to them ahead of time, Ed Schmidt, town of Rietbrock, Tamey Zenner, town of Rietbrock and Barb Heier, Athens, failed to lay out positions that made it easy to distinguish between the candidates. The uniformly upbeat candidates said that they all wanted the best Athens educational system possible, one that encouraged student success and was sensitive to the needs of parents and taxpayers.
