The Groveport Madison Local School District has a five-member board. The school board represents the people of the district by establishing educational policies and setting goals and objectives for the district. These policies and goals are carried out by the superintendent and staff under the board’s direction. Terms of the board members are four years and overlap to ensure continuity of board leadership.
Board Meetings
Regular meetings of the Board of Education are held on the second Thursday of each month, February through June, 2010. July through December regular meetings of the Board will be held on the second Wednesday of each month. All 2010 regular board meetings will be held at the Madison Township Community Center, 4575 Madison Lane, Groveport, OH 43125. Meetings begin at 7:00 P.M. Special meetings may be called in accordance with the state requirements.
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. Please remember that law prohibits discussion of specific employees or their job performance at a public meeting. State law does allow for discussions by board members regarding employees in executive sessions of the board. Voting can occur only in open sessions.
The format for board agendas has changed beginning May 13. In an effort to save paper, the board and its audience will be viewing the agenda online at its meetings. You can still view the agenda ahead of the meeting by clicking on the date of the meeting link on right hand side of the Board page. Click on the meeting date, then go to the meeting tab, scroll to the bottom of the column on the left side and click on 2010. All of the agendas should appear. The Groveport Madison Board of Education and the administration hopes that you will agree that this small change in the way that we do business is good for the environment and saves the district money. |
