A community forum is being held tonight in Newtown about long term planning for the schools.  Superintendent Dr Joseph Erardi says the hour long forum will include critical community input on the planning which will define the learner for the next ten years. Parents, community members, elected and appointed officials, and business owners are being encouraged to attend and voice their thoughts and opinions.  Safety and transportation will also be discussed.  A committee will be formed after the forum for long term planning.  The community forum is in the Newtown High School lecture hall at 7pm.
