Five Things: Meeting on Downtown Schools Tonight in the Back Bay

1. Downtown schools meeting: The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay will sponsor a public forum tonight with representatives from the Downtown Schools for Boston, who will speak about the need for new public schools serving downtown neighborhoods.

The forum will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. at the French Cultural Center, 53 Marlborough St. The meeting is open to the public and there is no charge.
