FORSYTH COUNTY — From the federal Common Core education standards to domestic violence, the community got to hear responses Monday night on a variety of topics from five candidates in the May 20 primary. The three people running for the District 1 Board of Education post and two of the three solicitor general hopefuls attended the forum, which was organized by the Forsyth County Republican Party. School board incumbent Ann Crow and challengers Amanda Nixon and Mark Weiss opened the session at the Forsyth County Administration Building, fielding questions about Common Core, the local school system’s budget, charter schools and school prayer.
