Agendas
The school board meeting agenda is set by the superintendent and board president. Individuals who wish to request an item be discussed on the agenda should do so by submitting their request in writing to the Superintendent’s secretary at the Groveport Madison Board of Education Offices or e-mail at marge.beaver@gocruisers.org. Requests should include name, address, phone number, organization represented (if any), or pertinent background information and be submitted five working days before the scheduled meeting. The inclusion of items is at the discretion of the superintendent and board president.
