ABC's of School Board Service Event
The District 64 administration will host this event from 7 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14. The virtual meeting is designed to allow prospective Board members and community members an opportunity to ask questions about the job of a school board member, and to get a feel for the time commitment, challenges and rewards that may not be evident from reading the formal list of responsibilities. This is not an official Board meeting; only two Board members will participate, along with two members of the District 64 administration.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic this meeting will be held online through Zoom. Attendees will be able to watch the presentation and ask questions by typing them into the Q/A button.
