The board and the superintendent work together to assure the best interests of the community's children and the patrons of the school district. Although this is a team concept, both the board and the superintendent have unique responsibilities. Board members act only as a whole and do not act on an individual basis. One of the board's responsibilities is not to respond individually, but to insure that the school district is responding. Your presence and participation are encouraged at board meetings.
Patrons are welcome to address the board without prior notice.
However, board actions are limited to those items on the printed agenda. The board hosts periodic town meetings to hear community members' comments and opinions, as well as to answer questions. Notices about town meetings are published in school newsletters, local newspapers and announced on Kingwood cable television. The board conducts public hearings on specific topics from time to time. These hearings provide additional opportunities for public comment on such items as the budget, tax rate, etc.
