To better engage the community, each year some board meetings may be held in schools. The boards intent is to provide the opportunity for a two-way dialogue with the community on specific policy issues.

Delegations

At regular, discussion, and special discussion meetings, delegations of parents and community members may address the Board about policy issues on the current meetings agenda.

Please call the school board office at 612.668.0197 before the meeting and leave your name, address, phone number and email address to indicate your desire to speak. If you cannot call, you should complete an information card that is available at the meeting. The information on this card allows district staff to follow up with you about your concerns.

Delegations are limited to three minutes. Groups of five or more people can pool their time so that one representative can make comments for ten minutes.

If you have concerns about administrative issues, you are encouraged to discuss those concerns first with your teacher and principal. If issues cannot be resolved at the school level, you should call your associate superintendents office.

The Minneapolis Board of Education is a policy-making body responsible for selecting the superintendent and overseeing the district's budget, curriculum, personnel and facilities. The school board is granted authority to carry out these duties by the State of Minnesota and the Minnesota Legislature.
