Scott Crise, 58, is manager of gas plant operations for Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. He is one of seven candidates running for three open spots on the Springfield Board of Education, and joined the Springfield Daily Citizen to talk about issues facing the district.

These podcasts are structured similar to a town hall meeting: Each candidate was asked the same questions, which were developed with the help of our readers.
