Democratic superintendent candidates to participate in forum

Alisha Thomas Morgan and Valarie Wilson, Democratic candidates for state school superintendent, are scheduled to participate in a meet-and-greet and a forum Wednesday evening at a restaurant in southwest Atlanta.

Morgan, a state representative from Austell, and Wilson, a former City Schools of Decatur school board member, are expected to discuss education issues on WAOK-AM at 5 p.m. and then participate in a meet-and-greet and forum an hour later at Gladys Knight’s Signature Chicken and Waffles restaurant at 3752 Cascade Road in southwest Atlanta.

Morgan and Wilson, the top vote-getters in the May 20 Democratic primary, are facing each other in the July 22 runoff. The winner will take on the Republican nominee in the general election this fall.
