The Board of Education is changing
the way it does business...
 
  • New Committee of the Whole meeting one week prior to the regular board meeting allows the public greater access to the board and its decisions.
  • Board discusses its committee work and agenda items in public one week before voting on issues.
Earlier this year, the board held a series of public meetings that featured budget presentations by building principals and district administrators.
 
 
 
For more information about the Committee of the Whole and the entire year's schedule of meetings, visit the Board of Education meeting page.
