About School Board Meetings

Providing public testimony at school board meetings

 School Board meetings are generally held twice a month on Monday evenings at 7 p.m., in the board room at the District Administration Building. The time, place, and proposed agenda for each meeting are available online. 

The School Board will often hold a work session immediately prior to its regular sessions. These meetings give Board members an opportunity to discuss issues in greater depth and ask questions of administrators. Work sessions are open to the public, although opportunities for public comment are reserved for regular sessions.

The School Board may convene an executive session in addition to its work and regular sessions. Executive sessions are closed to the public in accordance with ORS 192.610-192.690. 

Topics that may be discussed in executive session include personnel matters, strategies for collective bargaining, purchase of real estate, discussions with legal counsel, record reviews legally exempt from public inspection, students' confidential records, and expulsion of students. News reporters may attend executive sessions but cannot report on the content of those sessions.
