School Board Meetings and Procedures
School Board Meetings are on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m.
The last time I checked, a member of the public (like a parent, for instance) was not allowed to be placed on the agenda. Instead, you are supposed to sign in to address the school board just before the meeting begins. So under the current system, if someone will be addressing an issue about which you have an interest, you have no way of knowing in advance.

If a member of the public does decide to address the school board, they may want the board members to have a chance to review materials pertinent to an issue prior to the board's meeting. Right now, the school administration distributes information packets to the board members on the Thursday before the Tuesday meeting. You, as a member of the public and therefore not on the agenda, might meet resistance in including your background information in the packets (due to the price of postage, for example). If that is the case, the administration could provide you with a list of the names and phone numbers of the school board members and it will be your responsibility to see that they get the information.
School Board Members:
Bill Denney, President
Gerold Green, Vice President
Arlan Ponder, Secretary
Ace Wimsatt, Member
