Each school in Glasgow Independent will elect two parent members.  Nominations will be accepted at each school between the dates of March 23-26, with elections being held during school hours on March 27.  If you have any questions about SBDM or election procedures, please call Kelly Oliver at the Central Office, 270-651-6757.
