The Board of Education will also be hosting an input forum in conjunction with Asheville City Schools’ first Homework Diner of the 2019-2020 school year. It will take place on Tuesday, September 24th at Asheville Middle School. A meal will be served from 5:00 – 6:00 PM in AMS’s Cafeteria, and, while our students are receiving homework help from qualified tutors, our final Superintendent Search Community Forum will take place in the school media center from 6:00 – 7:00 PM.

We are looking forward to meeting with you and receiving your input as we look to hire the best, long-term fit for our students, staff members, families and community.

-Why is it important for you to be here?
