Board of Education Meetings
This board conducts regular board meetings on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the district central office building located at 410 South Street. The meetings are open to the public and an agenda is posted at the central office, the courthouse, city hall, and the library prior to the board meetings. Copies are also available at the meeting.
Members of the public are typically provided an opportunity for input at the start of the board meeting. Anyone wishing to have an item placed on the board agenda, or having a question about an agenda item, may contact the office of the superintendent. To have an item placed on the agenda, a written request must be submitted to the superintendent on a form provided by the district office, by the Wednesday preceding the board meeting. The written request shall include the name, address, and telephone number of the person making the request; the name of the organization or group represented, if any; a statement of action to be requested of the board; and any pertinent background information related to the request. For an individual to be on the agenda, the appropriate lines of communication must be followed to allow the settlement of issues by the proper administrator before board involvement.
