A member of Futuro RGV and a moderator solicited questions from news media and community members and made the final decision about which ones will be asked.

The questions will pertain to issues relevant to the school district.

Candidates will be asked questions in ballot order and have 1 1/2 minutes to answer.

The moderator will be able to ask follow-up questions and be allowed to provide additional time to a candidate if they are mentioned by an opponent.

Candidates will have two minutes for closing statements.

Futuro RGV will livestream the forum on their Facebook page and post a recording of it on their website.

Early voting starts on April 22 and runs through April 29 with Election Day on May 3.
