School Board

Meeting Time and Location
Regular School Board meetings are scheduled on the second Monday of each month.  The work session begins at 5:30 and the board meeting follows at 6:00 p.m. in the District Board room. Work sessions are not held every month. Please review the monthly agenda.  All board meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public. The Board invites district citizens to attend meetings and share their ideas and opinions.  

Participation
 During regular Board meetings, members of the public are specifically invited to present their views in the "Audience Comments" section of the agenda. If members of the public wish to address an item that already is on the agenda, they may do so when the item comes up for discussion by the Board.
 
The Board chairperson will invite members of the public to speak during the meeting. Any person who is invited to speak should:
  • State his/her name and address, and the topic to be addressed.
  • If representing an organization or group, the speaker should identify it. A spokesperson should be designated to speak for a group of people who come before the Board with a common purpose.
  • Written material for the Board should be given to the Board secretary for distribution.
  • The Board requests that patrons limit their comments to three minutes.
  • The Board often does not respond to patron comments on the spot. This allows the Board additional time to research and reflect on particular issues. 

Criticism of Staff Members
Speakers may offer objective criticism of district operations and programs, but the Board will not hear complaints concerning individual district personnel. The chairperson will direct the visitor to appropriate means for Board consideration.

It is the policy of the Banks Board of Education and School District that there will be no discrimination or harassment on the grounds of race, color, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age or disability in any educational programs, activities or employment.  These rights are protected by state and federal law and covered by local district policies and practice.  Persons having questions about equal opportunity and nondiscrimination should contact the Superintendent at the District Office.
