The forums will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 19, and 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 21. Both will be at the Middle School.

Anyone who can't attend may send their comments to rhanlon@sgcsd.net or leave a message at 386-4343 and the comments will be passed along to the Board of Education during its deliberations.
