The president of the Board, who is elected by other members of the school board, presides at all regular and special meetings. The vice president presides in the president s absence. Board members receive the agenda and supporting documents well in advance of each meeting so they can study the materials and be prepared to make decisions. The Board of Education cannot be expected to make informed decisions on important questions without having all the available information and will not usually act on items not included on the agenda. If you want to appear before the board, you can contact the superintendent's office prior to the Wednesday meeting.
Groups are also welcome but proceedings are facilitated if one person acts as the spokesperson.
Copies of the agenda are provided to individuals attending board meetings. The school board benefits from comments and questions from concerned citizens who attend meetings. Therefore, an opportunity is provided for you to be heard during the public portion of the regular meeting. During the open portion of the meeting, the Board President will acknowledge you up to speak. Once called, you must rise, and state your name and address to the board, so that ft may be recorded.
