9. We further discussed putting together a forum for School Board candidates for our August Meeting on August 16, 2016.  Since the final filing date for candidates is August 12, 2016, we decided to have a forum at Chilton Middle School Multipurpose Room in place of our September meeting.  That would be September 20, 2016.  We will look into this possibility and compose questions and find a moderator.
