NEWPORT — Eight of the 10 candidates for the Newport School Committee faced off Tuesday evening during a forum held in the Pell Elementary School cafeteria and attended by more than 100 people.

The forum was the first of three candidates forums organized by the Alliance for a Livable Newport, a neighborhood advocacy group. Questions were posed by Jane Koster, president of the League of Women Voters of Rhode Island.

Participating in the forum were three challengers: Louisa Boatwright, Aida Neary and Robert Leary, a former member of the School Committee. Two of the challengers on the Nov. 6 ballot were absent: Karlie Cesarini and Kelly Anne Lohrum, who both notified the debate organizers that they had family emergencies.

All five incumbents running for re-election were present: Rebecca Bolan, David Carlin III, Sandra Flowers, Raymond Gomes and Kathleen Silvia.
