AISD District 7 residents invited to three forums

The Austin Independent School District is holding three public forums next week, giving residents a chance to question District 7 candidates Yasmin Wagner and Jonathan Sump, who are running for a seat on the AISD board of trustees. Forums are tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. at Bowie High School; Thursday, Sept. 17 at noon at Covington Middle School; and Saturday, Sept. 19 at 11 a.m. at Baranoff Elementary School. Trustees ask that District 7 residents submit their forum questions online by noon Sept. 14. However, residents will still be able to submit questions via notecard before each event. All forums are to be tentatively run by a third party, although trustees have not announced who the third party will be. AISD board members are to fill the District 7 vacancy by Sept. 28.
