All board meetings are open to the public, with the exception of executive sessions where personnel, property acquisition or sales, and collective bargaining matters are discussed.
Regular board meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. at the Shoreline Center. If an executive session is needed, it is typically held at the end of the meeting. The Board also holds study sessions as needed. These are generally held on selected Tuesdays. In the spring, the board sets a meeting schedule for the summer and following school year.
