       Regular monthly School Board meetings are scheduled throughout the year. Residents are invited to attend Board meetings, which often feature presentations of educational programs and activities. Monthly board meetings and work sessions are open to the public. Executive sessions are closed meetings and are typically reserved for the board to discuss personnel, legal, and real estate matters. Procedures for public participation at Board meetings are available at the meetings.
