2026 P-CCS Board of Education: Candidate Questionnaire & Endorsements
2026 P-CCS Board of Education: Candidate Questionnaire & Endorsements
How we’re collecting, sharing, and evaluating candidate perspectives for Plymouth-Canton Community Schools.
CAPES (Canton and Plymouth Education Squad) is dedicated to helping our community understand who is running for the School Board and where they stand on the issues that matter most.
Our process is centered on three pillars: student safety, a sense of belonging, and strong public education for all. Based on these core values, CAPES asks candidates to complete our questionnaire to review their platforms and issue official endorsements that align with our mission to support P-CCS students, families, and educators.
