Regular School Board’s meetings are scheduled on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the District Support Center, 3301 N. 23rd Street in Canyon. Notices and agendas of all meetings are posted on the front doors of the Administration Building 72 hours prior to the session, and on our website. Board meetings are sometimes held at different locations. The agenda indicates the location of the meeting.
With the children foremost in their minds, the Board of Trustees’ primary task is to establish district policy. These individuals are elected by you for four-year terms for which they receive no compensation. Prior to each meeting, trustees receive background materials on agenda items. By studying this information, they are prepared to ask pertinent questions and cast informed votes. A school board is a governmental body, so it can take action only by a majority vote. They are responsible for approving personnel actions, expenditures, property acquisitions and sales, school elections, and legal transactions. Their authority encompasses construction and maintenance authorizations, budget approval, bond elections and sales, tax rates, and the taking of bids on materials, equipment, property, insurance and other items.
