Board Communications
There are several ways you can communicate with School Board members:
Email or Phone Call
Contact information for Board members is included on the Meet the Board Web page. Responses to emails will be copied to all Board members and, if appropriate, may be referred outside the Board for resolution. Examples of referrals are:
- Individual Administrative Staff
- Principals
- Conversation with the Board (scheduled)
- District Advisory Commmittee (DAC)
- School Advisory Committee (SAC)
- District Financial Advisory Committee
- District Legislative Committee
- Public Comment at Board of Education Meeting
Public Comments at Board Meetings
The Board of Education wants to hear from the community. The opinions of citizens, parents, students, and teachers are important in the Board's decision-making process. Regular Board meeting agendas include specific time for public comments.
Each speaker is limited to 5 minutes.
To speak at a Board meeting:
- Fill out a “Public Request to Comment” form, available at all Board meetings. See Example
- Keep the cover sheet for your information and give the completed form to the Secretary to the Board of Education before the meeting starts.
When appropriate, following each public comment, the Superintendent will refer the public speaker to the proper staff member for resolution.
Conversation with the Board
Once per quarter the Board of Education will hold a “Conversation with the Board” designed to allow patrons and employees the opportunity to ask questions and carry on dialogue with the Board of Education.
- The sessions will be scheduled from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. on a regular Board meeting night.
- The first 10 to 15 minutes of the meeting will involve social interaction.
- The final 45 minutes will involve a large group session with the President of the Board leading the session.
- The regular Board meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m.
