Our three, non-partisan, community-based organizations, the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Beloit Economic Development Corporation and Rock County First, on March 18th, hosted a very successful Beloit School Board candidate forum. Common feedback to the forum from candidates, attendees, and the community—was overwhelmingly positive! With terms being used such as: “non-partisan,” “professional,” “fair,” “unbiased,” "well done, "all candidates being treated fairly and with dignity."
