Importance of Board Meeting Attendance

“School Board meetings offer a vital platform for community members to stay informed and engaged with the issues affecting our schools. From budget reports by Director of Business Services, Katie Saul, to program updates from our Directors of Elementary and Secondary Education, these meetings provide insights into curriculum, funding, and policy matters. Principals and their leadership teams also share progress and special initiatives happening in their schools. Attending ensures a well-rounded understanding of the district’s goals and fosters a stronger connection between the community and its schools.”
