It's election week in Lee's Summit, and host Nick Parker and co-host Jason Norbury are back to finish their April 7 municipal election preview — this time focused on the six candidates vying for seats on the Lee's Summit R-7 Board of Education.

Nick and Jason break down what the candidate questionnaire responses reveal, why the relative absence of divisive issues in this race might actually be good news for the community, and where voters can still find meaningful differences between candidates. They also discuss Proposition C — the teacher salary ballot measure — and zoom out to the bigger picture: what a potential state income tax repeal in Jefferson City could mean for LSR7, and why the advocacy skills of whoever wins a board seat may matter more than anything else on their platform.
