DeKalb NAACP to host forum with candidates for superintendent

The DeKalb County NAACP is scheduled to host a forum Saturday featuring the two Democratic candidates for Georgia school superintendent.

State Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan, D-Austell, and Valarie Wilson, a former City Schools of Decatur school board member, are expected to participate in the forum, which will be at the South DeKalb Office Park at 3015 Rainbow Drive in Decatur.

Morgan and Wilson were the top vote-getters in the Democratic primary May 20 and will face off in a runoff July 22. The winner will face the Republican nominee in the general election in November.
