One didn't try to steal the spotlight when it didn't belong to you, especially when it belonged to him....and the other judges, sure.

He looked at the candidates seated there. Was it bad that he saw nothing particularly special about any of them? They were just people. People who got into politics for their own self-righteous reasons.

Yes, we heard you all say how much you loved the school and the students but in the end that didn't account for much now did it. People were all the same.

He shot a rather unimpressed look at the candidates who hadn't bothered to answer even a single question. How were they going to work for the board if they could barely answer a few simply questions. Then his gaze turned to the ones who had actually bothered to answer. Heh, from what he could tell many of them were a little too confident. Confidence was good but it suited him better, wouldn't you agree? No? Too bad.

Gavin reached for a card and smiled at it just a bit. This one obviously came from a concerned parent. That lot amused him with the way they thought worrying could make a situation any better or worse.

Sigh. Time for him to speak. "Hello everyone, My name's Gavin Isaacs, I work in the Department of Mysteries." Did he need to say more? This wasn't about him afterall ~~as unfortunate as that was~~. He'd leave it at that. But that was only for those who had answered previously. Everyone else needed to search themselves and find a voice before this thing was over. Board of Governors, half these people? Right.

OOC: This is the third question and should only be answered by those who have answered the first two.

For Althea Schirmer, Roxanne Carter, Gavin Higareda: If you were to be elected onto the board, what would you ensure becomes a priority as far as the long term plans of the Board are concerned?

For Nolan Reynolds, Ivy Knox, Cooper Cope, and Erik Vinteren: If a personal or professional situation arose at the same time as an equally important situation arose in the school, which would you deem more important to attend to first, and why?

For everyone else: Why do you feel you are more qualified for this position than the other candidates?

Interesting.

The 46 year-old man watched calmly as the President of the Board of Governors started the session and as each candidate stood up and gave their answer to the questions already posed. Some of them made him smile a little. He also loved how diversed the candidate's background was. That would surely enrich the teaching at Hogwarts and Seth approved of that completely.

So interesting. Yes, everything was very interesting there.

Alright, it was his turn now. "Good evening." He smiled warmly at the audience and candidates. "I am Seth Macmillan, teacher at the British Primary Charm School and I was invited to help organize this debate." There, enough information. Surely everyone knew about the school he teacher at, so brilliant! Time to move on.

Seth turned around a little to face the candidates again, but never turning his back to the audience. "First I would like to congratulate all of you. Every one of you is doing a very good job tonight!" He smiled as he looked at each candidate in the eyes for a second. Everyone could use some encouragement now, he was sure. Okay, now the question. Seth kept smiling at them as he spoke. "Second, we don't have any time to waste, so onto the next question, yes!?" Yes! Life was short.

A particularly good question in his opinion, being a teacher himself. Smile!

.........
OOC: PLEASE GUYS, JUST ANSWER ONE QUESTION PER POST! We won't take catch up posts into consideration anymore, kay? Thank yooou!

This is the fourth question and should only be answered by those who have answered the first three.

For Gavin Higareda, Althea Schirmer, Roxanne Carter, Cooper Cope: Do you feel it is important as a board member to work along side of the professors and keep them in the know of everything going on or do you feel the board should be separate?

For Nolan Reynolds, Erik Vinteren, Ivy Knox: If you were to be elected onto the board, what would you ensure becomes a priority as far as the long term plans of the Board are concerned?

For Sherman Clark: If a personal or professional situation arose at the same time as an equally important situation arose in the school, which would you deem more important to attend to first, and why?

For everyone else: Why do you feel you are more qualified for this position than the other candidates?

If he were elected to the board...there were a great many things Erik would change in the school. But that wasn't the question. The question was about his long term goals for the school. Easy enough.

Erik stood up and made his way to centre stage. "I believe security is the first concern the Board of Governors must deal vith. It is a short-term goal though. Once the school is secure from outside dangers, threats, or persons with questionable backgrounds," he shot a glance right back at Roxanne, because he hadn't missed her look. He wasn't a spotlight seeking, evidence hiding American prosecutor turned zombie hunter, unlike her. And unlike her, he hadn't lied once this evening. "vhen we can move on to more noble pursuits."

He cleared his throat importantly. "Some long-term goals I vould like the Board to achieve are to equalize vhe distribution of funds for all academic disciplines throughout the school, so vhat equal improvements may be made to the greenhouses, the creature grounds, the defence training rooms, and so on." Not only the library was deserving of a makeover in Erik's opinion. "I vould also make it a priority to haff more educational opportunities extended to students. I mean opportunities like a student exchange program vith other schools of magic, so that students can expand their horizons and can be exposed to a variety of people and cultures vhile their minds are still young and absorbent. I vould like to continue to offer seminars on various subjects and professions to the students, but I vould also like to see vhe classes going on more field trips beyond the castle's valls and grounds.

"Vis is a long term goal, though, for as I said, securing the castle must take place first before ve feel confident enough to allow students on field trips." He nodded and gave a small wave to the audience with this also excellent answer. "Vank you."

Erik took his seat and waited for his next question.
