City schools holding forums on Monday

The Bowling Green city school district will hold a pair of forums Monday to hear comments about the performance of its schools and suggestions for improvements.

The forums are part of the district’s renewal of its strategic plan, the guiding document that the district has followed since 1995.

Monday’s forum is for parents and community members, and will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and again from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the auditorium of Bowling Green High School, 1801 Rockingham Lane.

The forums are being led by the Kentucky School Board Association, which advises the strategic plan renewal process.
