A+ Denver, an advocacy group focused on improving student performance in Denver, on Thursday released survey results showing where the nine finalists stand on a range of education issues including teacher evaluation and recruitment strategies, whether teacher salaries should be made public, the role of charter schools and school choice and how best to address school finance.
A seat on the seven-member board opened up when Nate Easley announced his resignation last month to take over as head of the Denver Scholarship Foundation. Easley represented District 4 in Northeast Denver.

Much attention is being paid to the vacancy since the board was typically split 4-3, with Easley joining the board majority in its support of district reforms, including the School Performance Framework, which is used to evaluate schools, and an openness to charter schools, colocation of schools on the same campus and school choice.- Candidate responses to A+ Denver survey
