How to Address the School Board
Comments to the Board may do so during the “Comments from Citizens” section of the Regular Meeting agenda.
Those wanting to address the Board during a Regular Meeting will need to submit a written request to the Superintendent’s office three business days prior to the scheduled Board meeting. The request must be submitted by 4pm and contain the name of the speaker and topic to be addressed.
The following process will be used for those wanting to address the Board:
- Resolutions to questions or concerns are to be addressed first at the building level and then with the Superintendent prior to being brought to the Board.
- Those addressing the Board shall speak in a manner suitable for a public forum.
- Those speaking shall refrain from any personal references or attacks.
- Time limits may be imposed depending on the number of people requesting to speak.
Common Questions:
IS THE SUPERINTENDENT A MEMBER OF THE BOARD?
The superintendent is a professional educator employed by the Board to carry out adopted policies and to be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the schools. The superintendent works with building level administrators who assist with building level responsibilities. The superintendent is not a member of the Board.
The superintendent prepares the agenda for each Board meeting. This agenda becomes the order of business for the meeting. The agenda for each Board meeting is posted for public information prior to the meeting. Once a meeting is called to order, no changes in the agenda can be made without the consent of the majority of the Board.
WHAT IS DONE AT BOARD MEETINGS?
Board meetings are for acting upon recommendations of the superintendent, adopting the annual budget and tax rates, adopting policies and authorizing the spending of funds. Although any matter may come before the Board, most school-related issues are handled through administrative channels.
WHEN AND WHERE ARE BOARD MEETINGS?
Planning sessions are the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Boardroom at the Administration Center located at 502 Little League Boulevard, unless announced otherwise. Regular board meetings are the second Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the same location, unless announced otherwise. Special or emergency meetings may be at different times and locations on an as-needed basis.
