Meetings of the Board are open to the public, we encourage our community members to attend. Executive Session, during which Board members may discuss only specific business items as defined by the Ohio law, is the only session closed to the public. Since Ohio law states that all school board voting must be done in public, executive sessions are for discussion purposes only. Occasionally, the Board will hold a special meeting when District matters need immediate attention.
Please note: Board agendas and minutes are posted on this page as well. Agendas are posted until the minutes are approved at the next scheduled meeting, then the agenda is replaced with the approved minutes.
