JACKSON SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE FORUM MONDAY

JACKSON - The Jacksonian chapter of the American Business Women of America will sponsor a Meet the School Board Candidates forum on Monday beginning at 7 p.m. in the R.O. Hawkins Junior High School Library in Jackson.

The junior high school is on West Lane, immediately south of West Lane Elementary School. Babysitting and refreshments will be provided.

Three candidates are running for the two seats on the Jackson school board that will be filled April 5. They are incumbent board members Larry Koenig and Jack Knowlan Jr. and a newcomer, Ken Callis.

ABWA spokesperson Crystal Barker said each candidate will make an opening statement, then respond to questions from the audience.

"We urge patrons of the school district to attend the candidate's forum and contribute to the discussion by asking questions," said Barker.
