Work sessions and committee meetings of the board are held on opposite Monday evenings. All board meetings, including discussions and actions, are conducted in open session. The Board only convenes in closed session, as provided by the Iowa Open Meetings Law, to discuss such things as personnel evaluations, litigation, real estate purchases, and student expulsions. Internet Board information also may be found on the district's Web Site, including this section and the News section. The board elects its own president and vice president, appoints its secretary and treasurer, and hires the district superintendent.
Citizens are welcome to address the board during open forum and pre-arranged presentations.
Following are the procedures for each. Open Forum Complete an open forum request form found at the back of the meeting room and submit to the board secretary, seated directly behind the board table. Please do this before the meeting begins. Pre-arranged Presentations Persons desiring to make a presentation to the board should submit a written request to the board secretary no later than 12 days prior to the meeting. The board secretary will explain details about making a citizen presentation.
