Communicating with the Board
The Board meets once a month to discuss the various elements of school governance. These meetings are open to the public and open to any community member who might wish to attend. While the meetings are open, it is important to remember this is a formal meeting and the dialogue primarily exists between Board members as they discuss the various items on the agenda. However, there is a designated time for community members to share their thoughts with the Board during each meeting. This time is called “Community Comments,” and you are welcome to sign up to speak during this time. A sign-up sheet for comments can be found on the lobby bulletin board of the school, along with the meeting agenda.
If you wish to share ideas or concerns with the Board, you are welcome to reach out to any Board member individually. Contact information for each member is found on the school website. The Board welcomes feedback from the community!
For reference, all corporate documents (i.e. by-laws, articles of incorporation, BOD policies) are located on the school website and are also available in the front office and are available for public review upon request. The Board does not generally have access to confidential files of students, school personnel or other federally or state mandated confidential information.
