Meeting Schedule Up for Discussion at BOE Meeting

The Board of Education meets Monday.

The Board of Education will discuss its meeting schedule for the 2013-14 year when they meet Monday for their last meeting of the 2012-13 year.

The meeting schedule will be finalized and voted on at the first meeting of the new year on Monday, April 22. Before that meeting, members of the public will vote on the 2013-14 school budget, two additional questions (one to enhance counseling staff, one to enhance school security) and board members.

The Board previously discussed meeting dates at an October meeting when members asked about taping and broadcasting the meetings.
