The Boston School Department today announced a series of community forums on Superintendent Carol R. Johnson's sweeping plan to expand, consolidate, and close schools, which will be unveiled tonight.

A forum will be held in each of the district's three elementary/middle school zones.

The North Zone meeting will take place next Tuesday, Oct. 7, at Orchard Gardens K-8 School at 906 Albany St. in Roxbury. The East Zone meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 14, at Mildred Avenue Middle School in Mattapan. The West Zone meeting will be Thursday, Oct. 16, at English High School, 144 McBride St., Jamaica Plain. All meetings start at 6 p.m.

Additional meetings will take place at schools slated for expansion, consolidation, or closure.
