Aid is hot topic at forum

AUBURN - Andrea Cosachov wanted to know what the Auburn Enlarged City School District would do if drastic cuts to state aid would force the district to slash arts and music from school buildings.

Lonnie Love longed to understand what the district is tangibly doing to help struggling children who are often overlooked by the state and federal government.

More than a dozen people came to the Auburn High School library Wednesday to participate in an open forum hosted by the board of education as a means to open the lines of communication and create a free-flowing dialogue between the district and the community.
