Board Meeting Schedule

BOARD MEETING PROCEDURES:

All regular and special board meetings are open to the public, and all authorized or lawfully required actions are taken at these meetings. The board may, however, meet in closed (executive) session to discuss matters dealing with personnel, real estate acquisition, litigation, and employee negotiations. All formal actions, however, are taken in public sessions.

The agenda for each meeting is prepared by the superintendent. Meetings are conducted by the board president in the prescribed order.

Extensive background material on agenda items is sent to board members prior to each meeting. After examining this material, board members can obtain answers to questions and be prepared to efficiently reach decisions while in session.

APPEARANCE BEFORE THE BOARD

Visitors are always welcome at school board meetings.

The Board of Education wants to be responsive to the needs of the people it represents. A citizen may address the board on agenda items during the comment portion of the meeting.

Those wishing to address the board must sign up. Public comment sign-up begins one-half hour before meeting time and closes when the meeting is called to order. Individuals will be recognized in the order of sign up. Individual presentations are limited to five minutes. A maximum of 30 minutes is allocated for the public comment portion of the District 210 agenda.

Complaints regarding school personnel shall be heard by the Board of Education only after a hearing has been held with the administration and all parties concerned. If you have any questions, please call 815.462.2123.
