Lima Education Association On Tuesday, October 21, 2025, the Lima Education Association hosted the school board candidates at the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge for a community-wide Meet The Candidates night. Community members and LEA members were in attendance and got to submit questions to ask the candidates. Moderating the event was one of LEA’s retired past presidents, Miriam Downing, who did an excellent job!
Board candidates in attendance were Sandra Monfort and Heather Rutz. Absent from the event was candidate Cindy Brownlow due to illness. Candidates shared their appreciation for public schools and their commitment to our students.
School Board Elections are on November 4, 2025. There are 2 seats available for this coming term with Cindy Brownlow up for re-election and Deanna Reynolds Griffin stepping down. We are confident that all 3 candidates will represent Lima City Schools well and fight for public education.
Here are some pictures of the event!
