The Ada Rotary Club will host a forum for Ada Board of Education candidates from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 13 in the Dicke Hall forum at Ohio Northern University.
The six candidates for two open seats are Chase Archer, Adam Baumgartner, Denise D’Arca, Ron Fleming, Margaret Gordon and Thomas (Ted) Griffith. Fleming is the only incumbent.
Two candidates, Neal Dumbaugh and Michael Willeke, have formally withdrawn from the race.
The forum will begin with introductions by each candidate, a series of questions and answers, and closing statements by each candidate. The forum is not a debate. A moderator will ask the questions.
The Ada volleyball team lost a close four-set battle to visiting arch-rival Upper Scioto Valley Monday night.

USV improved to 4-12 with the hard-fought victory.
"Our back row play was not as good as it is normally," said Ada head coach Kyleigh Woodruff. "They had a lot of tips that fell in. We were reaching for the ball instead of getting our body behind the ball. We were a step slow.
"Our serve receive also wasn't as solid as usual either," she added.
