Jun. 27—The Indiana School Boards Association will host a series of school board candidate forums starting July 11 for potential candidates thinking about running for their local school board.

Six forums will be held in-person at locations around the state, and one will be offered online. All seven sessions are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and end at 8:45 p.m. (local time).
