The agendas are posted online the Monday morning prior to the scheduled public meeting and the committee reports of these meetings are posted after they are approved by the Board. The Committee meeting reports are available to view.
Until further notice board committee meetings will be held via video conference because of concerns regarding public gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
