| 520 | |a The 1982 school board elections in the geographical and political Ottawa-Carleton (Ontario) regions gave rise to a record number of new candidates for election to the two public and two separate school boards that comprise the region. This paper examines some of the reasons for the dramatic increase and develops a profile of their characteristics. Results of an interpretative-theoretical type of qualitative analysis show that neither proposed increases in honoraria nor changes in the term of office (from 2 to 3 years) were factors in candidates' decisions to run. Major concerns and predominant issues which affected their candidacy, in rank order, were: (1) lack of communication by the boards, (2) monetary and taxation concerns, (3) school closures, (4) special education, (5) quality education, and (6) public funding of Catholic education. Many new candidates were deeply concerned with the impersonal community relations of large, bureaucratic school systems and school boards' appointed officials. A great majority of the new candidates came from the upper three classes of society, held at least one university degree, had close associations with education, and had been politically active in the past in some community group or organization. Nine references are appended. Two tables and one figure are included. (IW) | ||
