We know that many of you have questions about a particular school, neighborhood, district or city. We’re excited to announce a new tool on our community that will help you find answers to your local questions: Local Q&A.

Here are the three easy steps for posting a local question:

Step 1: Go to our Q&A Forum and enter your question in the “Ask a Question” box.

Step 2: Once you’ve entered your question and clicked “Ask,” a pop-up menu will appear. At the top, you’ll see the options to categorize your question by city and state.

Step 3: Check the “Local” box in the pop-up menu, and then select the state and city your question is about. Submit your question, and you’re done!

For example, if you have a question about the best public schools in Tucson, AZ, use our Q&A Forum to publish your question and make sure to categorize it as “Tuscon, AZ.” Your question will then be visible to parents who live in the Tuscon area and who can provide knowledgeable answers.

By the way, you can also browse local questions to see what other parents are saying about schools in your city.

Happy Posting!
