My eventual goal is to do separate blog posts for the six applicants who filed Friday for the Wake County school board District 1 vacancy, similar to what I did when the first two applied.
But for now, I'm including links so people can view the applications that all eight applicants submitted. Some tout their K-12 education experience, or their business experience or their military experience.
The applicants also bring up an interesting list of references, including current state legislators, past and present mayors, past school board members and leaders of community groups.

The school board members are supposed to review the applications between now and Feb. 5 when the interview all eight applicants. During the interviews, the applicants will all be asked the same eight questions, one from each board member.
