This school year at Blue Ridge school events, community members will have the opportunity to connect with Blue Ridge school board members.

Starting tonight (Monday) and again Tuesday night during the first days of school, the community can meet with Board members. Susan Wilson, Blue Ridge superintendent, indicates the idea came from their annual Blue Ridge Connects. The board will have two board members available to ask questions or give comments to the board in an informal way.

Wilson says this will offer community members a better way to discuss policy issues rather than turning to social media. 

Other dates in the coming weeks will be Friday at the Fall preview and then again September 19 at the Schneider School open house. There will be designated tables at these events labeled "Ask a Board Member".
