Each member of the Fulton County Board of Education sponsors a monthly meeting open to all members of the community. The sessions provide an opportunity for direct contact with community members and give board members a chance to listen to local issues and concerns.

Linda McCain, Johns Creek's representative on the school board, will host her meeting Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 9:30 a.m. at Abbotts Hill Elementary School.

Board members in North Fulton have set the following meeting dates for October 2012:

Linda Schultz, District 1
