Advocates For Education President Liz Sanders said the candidate meet-and-greet event will be somewhat more relaxed than a typical candidate forum because the race is uncontested, but it will give voters an opportunity to have a dialogue about issues concerning the School Board.

Parking is available and refreshments will be served.
