Frequently Asked Questions

When and where are Board meetings held?

Who participates in Board meetings?

All Board members actively participate in board meetings as well as the Superintendent, who is seated with the School Board. He/she serves as an agent of the school board in the daily operations of the district and acts as a consultant to the Board. Although he/she enters into discussion about agenda items with the Board, he/she does not vote. Other administrators are present and participate as needed in meetings.

What happens at Board meetings?

Are all Board meetings open to the public?

Do members of the audience have an opportunity to speak?

An item (Citizens Comments) has been placed on the regular Board agenda early and late in the meeting for the public to comment on school district concerns. Citizens who wish to make a presentation on a specific matter are requested to arrange for agenda time by contacting the Board President or Superintendent at least one week before the meeting.

At the meeting, citizens requesting to be heard shall state their name (and provide their name and telephone number in writing) and indicate whether they are representing themselves or a group. The Board President may establish time limits and other guidelines for presentations and comments. Personnel complaints are not to be discussed in open session, but should, instead, be taken to the Superintendent and if not resolved be discussed as part of a closed session of the Board.

Where do I find policies and Administrative Regulations?
