Area school board candidates and interested citizens can learn more about the demands and rewards of school board service at a candidate workshop, Tuesday, March 1, 7-9 p.m. at the Harris County Department of Education, 6300 Irvington Blvd..
The workshop will provide interested community members considering candidacy for the board with a better understanding of what is involved in being elected and serving as a local trustee.
