Board of Education

Providing Direction

The Board provides direction for operating the District through actions taken at its meetings. They develop the policies by which the educational programs and other business of the District are carried out. Proposed policies require two public readings prior to final adoption to allow for citizen comment.

Spanish-language interpretation will be available. Participants who wish to comment in Spanish may do so and are asked to speak slowly and clearly to give interpreters time to capture the message accurately and completely.

Speakers can join the meeting at any time, but are asked to join the meeting at least one agenda item prior to the item on which they wish to speak or prior to the Public Comment item, whichever comes first.  The Board can move items on an agenda, so please monitor the meeting.
