Several candidates at the Senoia forum Monday said current economic conditions will create challenges for the Coweta County school system during the next four years.

"The budget's going to continue to be a real challenge," incumbent District One At-Large candidate Mike Sumner said. "I wouldn't be surprised if the state gives us another round of cuts."

Sumner is the only incumbent in contested races for the school board this year. He faces a challenge from April Parker. Parker and Sumner took part in Monday's forum at the Freeman-Sasser Building in the Seavy Street Park in Senoia. Also participating in the forum, sponsored by the Senoia Downtown Development Authority, were candidates running for the southeast Coweta seat previously held by Steve Bedrosian -- Amy Dees, Jimmy Harrison and Andrew Krause.
