BOARD OF EDUCATION 

As elected representatives of the community, the Board of Education establishes the district budget, curriculum, school calendar, and other legal matters relating to the function of the school district. It comprises five members, each elected to a five-year term by the Argyle community, who work together as one entity to carry out the district business.

No individual board member may speak for the Board outside of a board meeting unless granted that authority by the Board. The Board has granted that authority to the board president. Outside of board meetings, individual board members can speak as private citizens and are not barred from doing so by any board policy.

Board members elect a president and vice president each July to serve for the following school year. The vice president fills in for the president during their absence.

The regular board meeting is to conduct school business and is generally held on the second Thursday of each month. Board meetings are open to the public under the open meetings law, but they are not public meetings or meetings of the public. They are meetings of the Board to conduct the business of the district.

The agenda for each meeting is posted on our website no later than the day of the meeting. It includes two public comment periods for members of the public to speak at each regular meeting, one at the beginning and one at the end.

The Board establishes policies for the district and reviews each policy regularly to ensure policies are up-to-date and pertinent to the current issues.
