GOP State School Superintendent Runoff: Mike Buck vs Richard Woods

On Saturday, June 07, 2014, the Cobb GOP hosted a full one-hour debate between the two runoff candidates for Georgia State School Superintendent, Richard Woods and Mike Buck. It turned out to be a very informative event, highlighting very distinct differences in the candidates’ positions.

Since there were only two candidates, they both had plenty of time to express their viewpoints on many topics,
such as:
• The primary role of the State School Superintendent and how this person interacts with the Governor’s office, the State Legislature and the State Board of Education
• Common Core Standards and the new Georgia Measures of Academic Progress (GMAP)
• Amount of class time spent in testing
• Teacher evaluations
• Parents’ rights
• Charter Schools
• The QBE Formula and other funding questions
• Zero tolerance or common sense
• Guns in schools
