MEETINGS
The School Board meets on the third Wednesday of each month at St. John's Hospital. All meetings are open meetings unless otherwise designated. Your ideas, opinions, and suggestions are welcome. However, they should be referred to the board president for consideration and placement on the agenda. These ideas, opinions, and suggestions should be submitted in writing. The school board president will then submit the proposed items for discussion to the secretary. This permits enough time for the Board Members to familiarize themselves about the proposed topic.
