Communication with the Board and School Officials

Parents and Community members wishing to contact the Board regarding a specific school, teacher or child, are encouraged to begin at the level closest to their concern.  The Board encourages students and parents to discuss their concerns and complaints through informal conferences with the appropriate teacher, principal or other administrator.  Concerns should be expressed as soon as possible to allow early resolution at the lowest possible level.  

STEP ONE:  Contact the teacher, coach, guidance counselor, etc.

STEP TWO:  Contact the principal.  If you have a school-wide concern, this becomes step one.

STEP THREE:  Contact the District office responsible for the area of concern:

Board of Education

Public Comment

School board meetings are meetings of the board of education that are required to take place in the public; however, they are not actually meetings of the public. The board, through policy, sets the structure to include public comments in the interest of accountability and transparency.  The board establishes the guidelines and restrictions on the time allowed for public comment.
