Those running for the vacant 1st District seat on the Cook County Board will participate Feb. 1.
The Jan. 29 forum for high school students and parents starts at 6:30 p.m., 118 N. Central Ave.
The June 22 event provided owners an opportunity to learn about available assistance and resources for starting and improving their businesses.
Monday’s 2:30 p.m. event will allow the public to learn about those running in the April 18 election.
AustinTalks and others have requested basic information from CPS, but recent changes may mean all the information won’t be made public in time for elections next week.
The Feb. 25 event drew multiple contenders and supporters ready to back their chosen candidates.
The forum gave West Side voters an opportunity to learn about contenders whose names will appear on the March 20 ballot.
Low voter registration, water conservation and green infrastructure were some topics discussed.
The event gave residents the opportunity to learn more about those running for Cook County positions that will be on the March 20 ballot.
The students have been reinstated but the status of seven teachers who were dismissed remains the same.
