The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County will host a candidate forum for St. Charles Unit District 303 school board and St. Charles city council at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 14.

The St. Charles Unit District 303 school board candidates seeking three 4-year terms include current board President Kathy Hewell, as well as newcomers Jillian Barker, Michael Bryant, Rebecca McCabe and Garrett Seaman. Incumbent Nick Manheim and challenger Poonam Gupta-Krishnan are seeking a two-year term.
