IMPORTANT NOTICE

This is for all El Gheko Neighborhood residents: Word has come to us that TUSD will NOT allow any meetings at Hudlow (or any TUSD school) due to the Pandemic (Covid 19). 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 here (2020-2021 Meetings) in the Forum for more information as it becomes available.
