The Wichita school board has the unenviable task today of trying to decide which of eight candidates would best serve District 1 and the school district from now until the choice is subject to voter approval in 2007. Former board president Michael Kinard, recent District 1 candidate Shontina Pickens-Tipton and the others are to be commended for stepping forward to replace Kevin Graham, who resigned a month into his board service after an arrest for allegedly writing bad checks. The board can best put this awkward episode behind it — and rebuild any public trust eroded by the Graham episode — by thoroughly scrutinizing these candidates and choosing with great care. Anyone who sits on such a crucial board should have a high level of personal integrity and fiscal responsibility.
