flcer of the schools;
To appraise the worth and eff'ectiveness of the educational
program; and,
To help interpret the education program to the community.
In carrying out these duties, the board shall act as a committee
of the whole. No individual board member or combination of
members less than the full membership of the board shall be
designated as a permanent or standing comluittee. The board is
to be commended for establishing a procedU):"e. that eliminates
standing committees. Board policies provide that the pl'esident
m.ay appoint special committees as may be deemed advisable by
the board. These committees are limited in size to not m,ore
than three members, so as not to constitute a quorum of the
board. The duties of the committees are outlined at the time of

mittees as needed is an effective and preferable operating plan,
Official action can be taken only by the board as a whole in
official meeting and not by a committee or individual board
member. The board may meet as a committee of the whole for
the purpos.e of informal discussion and to make recommendations.
No official action may be taken during an informal mee~
ing.
Citizens are encouraged to attend board meetings. If a citizen
wishes to address the board, he must submit in writing a
request to the superintendent of schools stating whom he represents
and the nature of the problem to be presented. This request
should be made at least one week prior to the meeting at
which the citizen wishes to speak. In the case of a problem involving
an individual circumstance or an individual school, such
a request will be honored only if prior discussions have taken
pla,ce with the building principal or unit head and the superintendent
in an attempt to resolve the issue. At the board meeting
a written copy of the presentation should be given to the
board president for the official minutes. A review of the agenda
and minutes for the past four years reveals patrons have
taken infrequent advantage of this opportunity to address the
school board. In addition, an opportunity provided after the
adj ournment of each board meeting for anyone to ask questions
or make comments.
