Potential topics include high school class size reduction, school facilities and graduation requirements.
State Sen. Dede Alpert (D-Coronado) will join O’Connell at Thursday’s hearing, dubbed “The Capitol Comes to Campus.”
The hearing will start at 1 p.m. at the high school’s Little Theater, 2555 E. Main St.
