ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 2, 2022—The Montgomery County Council will host a hybrid Youth Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. with Montgomery County School Board President Brenda Wolff and Student Member of the Board of Education Arvin Kim to learn more about the issues currently impacting young people across the County.
