Appearing Before the Board

The citizens of Bismarck are not only welcome to attend the School Board meetings, we encourage you to do so! The first order of business at each monthly meeting is Public Appearances. While it is not necessary to let the Board know about special citizen concerns in advance, such advance notice is appreciated. The School Board will listen to any citizen concerns, but may not take any formal action at that same meeting. The President may limit the length of time spent on Public Appearances.
