Form submissions will be shown below and automatically shared with the Board of School Directors for its members to read and consider. Submissions will also be included in the meeting’s minutes, but they will not be read aloud at the meeting or shown on screen unless it is necessary to do so in order to accommodate a disability.

However, they will still be reviewed and considered after the fact. We encourage all comments to be submitted as early as possible to avoid this scenario.
