IMPORTANT NOTICE

This is Meeting Update for all El Gheko Neighborhood residents:

Word has come to us that TUSD will NOT allow any meetings at Hudlow Elementary School (or any TUSD school) due to the Covid 19 Pandemic.

The Ward 2 office was also contacted about meeting there, but NO meetings can be held at the Ward 2 building either for the same reason.

Check back at 2020-2021 Meetings in the Forum for more information as it becomes available.
