Board Meetings

Trustees gather twice a month for public meetings. At the mid-month meeting, trustees gather as the Committee of the Whole. This meeting is usually held on the second Tuesday of the month. Trustees discuss many topics of interest to parents and students, receive information, discuss policies and procedures, and indicate their intent to approve or deny certain motions. The end-of-month meeting is most often held on the final Tuesday of the month. Here, trustees discuss relevant matters and make final binding decisions. The public portion of all regular meetings begins at 6:30 p.m. Agendas for the meetings are available the Friday prior to the meeting.

The public is encouraged to attend the Committee of the Whole and Regular Meetings of the Board. Meetings begin at 6 p.m. with a private session to discuss in-camera items. The public session begins at 6:30 p.m. Regular meetings of the Board of Trustees are also webcast live through a link on our home page.

The meetings are live streamed and can be accessed on this page.

If you would like the opportunity to appear before the Board, a request must be made through the Director’s Office. The Director will then determine with the Chair of the Board whether or not the presentation is appropriate. If you are invited to make your presentation to the Board, a written application to appear before the Trustees – stating in full the matter on which the submission is to be made and naming the organization or interested parties to be represented and stating the authority of the spokesperson – must be received in the Director’s Office six days prior to the meeting. Only one spokesperson will be allowed for the delegation, regardless of the number of speakers.

Presentations relating to transportation issues will be referred to the Transportation Committee. Requests for presentations to the Transportation Committee must be made through the Director’s Office.
