Opportunity Nashville to Hold School Board Candidate Forum at Plaza Mariachi on June 28, moderated by The Tennessean’s David Plazas
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Opportunity Nashville is partnering with The Tennessean and other community organizations to facilitate a school board candidate forum ahead of the General Election for school board districts 2, 4, 6, and 8. The forum will take place inside Xenote at Plaza Mariachi on Tuesday, June 28 from 6-8:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Community organizations co-hosting this forum include Conexión Américas, Nashville Organized for Action and Hope (NOAH), Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), CivicTN, and Urban League of Middle Tennessee. The event is designed to give voters an opportunity to hear from all of the candidates on important topics related to public school policies and governance, so they can make an informed decision on Election Day on Aug. 4. The forum will be moderated by David Plazas, Director of Opinion and Engagement for the USA Today Network in Tennessee.
This event is a follow up to the four “Listening Sessions” that Opportunity Nashville hosted this spring in each school board district on the ballot. Some school board districts have changed through Nashville’s recent redistricting process, so voters can use the interactive map created by the Metro Nashville Planning Commission to identify their school board district by searching their home address. The last day to register to vote is July 5.
WHAT: School Board Candidate Forum hosted by Opportunity Nashville
WHO: All school board candidates in districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 have been invited to participate. The discussion will be moderated by David Plazas, Director of Opinion and Engagement for the USA Today Network in Tennessee.
WHEN: Tuesday, June 28, 2022 from 6-7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Xenote event venue inside Plaza Mariachi, 3955 Nolensville Pike, Nashville, 37211
