What this document actually says
This policy (Bylaw 9322) establishes rules for how the school board creates and shares meeting agendas. Key requirements include: agendas must be posted at least 72 hours before regular meetings and made available on the district website; the public must have opportunities to comment on agenda items (20 minutes maximum per item unless extended); board members and the public can request items be added to agendas; materials given to board members must also be available to the public; and agendas must include information about accessibility accommodations. The Board President, Vice President, and Superintendent work together to develop agendas. Last revised April 16, 2024, with next review scheduled for April 14, 2026.
What this means for your family
This policy ensures families can see what the school board will discuss before meetings and gives them the right to speak on those topics. Parents can request items be added to board agendas and can access meeting materials online. The policy also allows families to request that their student's or their own personal information be excluded from meeting minutes by writing to the board secretary.
