Board of Education

The Glen Rock Board of Education is comprised of nine elected members who serve overlapping three year terms. Essentially, the Board of Education is the catalyst between the school community and the community at large.

Each year the board reviews and develops the curriculum with the administration and staff in an effort to maintain the high level of excellence in our educational programs.

In addition, the Board of Education has responsibility to the taxpayers each year to propose a budget that keeps the increase in school taxes to a minimum.

As a team, the Board, the Superintendent and the faculty strive to meet the changing needs of our education system. The implementation of suggestions by staff members, parents, students and the general public is an integral part of the process.

Board Meetings

In accordance with the rules for public input at board meetings:

After informing the board president or secretary prior to the meeting of their intention to address a particular issue, members of the public may speak on any agenda item during the regular board meeting and again at the close of the meeting.

Before speaking at any time throughout the meeting, each person must state their name and address.

After the motion has been made and seconded, the public may speak for a total of five minutes per agenda item. Therefore, each individual will be limited to a statement of no longer than one minute per item. And, once an individual has addressed a particular item, that person may not speak to that issue again. The discussion may be extended only by a two-thirds vote of the board members present.

At the end of each meeting, general comments by the public will be limited to one minute per person.
