Chester-East Lincoln school board hosts Q&A prior to meeting tonight

[February 19, 2013]  The CEL Board of Education will meet Tuesday night in classrooms 132 and 133, located along the fifth- and sixth-grade hallway. Prior to the regular business meeting, the board will host a Q-and-A session from 5:30 to 6 p.m.

The Q-and-A session is designed to be an open forum for the community to ask board members questions about district affairs. Regular board of education meetings are very structured and only allow for public comments, not questions. This more open-format meeting allows the public to interact more informally with board members. These Q-and-A sessions are held every three months before the regularly scheduled board of education meeting.
