Members:
The members of the Beech Grove City Schools Board of Education invite you to become involved with your schools. Board meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. Please check the Board calendar posted on this website, as well as the agenda posted for the meeting in question, to note any changes in date, time or location. The meetings are held in the Hornet Training Center (Door 9E), at Beech Grove High School, 5330 Hornet Avenue. Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m.
An agenda is prepared for each meeting. All votes and minutes from each meeting are kept on the permanent record. Because Board members represent the interests of the community, citizens are encouraged to attend Board meetings. The Board meeting agenda includes:
Your comments on agenda items are always welcome. The meeting agenda item listed as Public Comments on Agenda provides time for you to speak on any agenda item for that evening. Because a Board meeting is a business meeting, it is not the appropriate time to discuss concerns or complaints. If you have a concern or complaint about an item NOT listed on the agenda, we request that you do the following:
After following these procedures, if you feel your concern is not being resolved, please contact the Superintendent of Schools and request a meeting with the Superintendent and the Board. You will be notified as to when your meeting has been scheduled, and your concern will be heard. Because each concern deserves appropriate time and attention, the Board and Superintendent may not have an immediate answer. You will be notified when a determination about your concern has been made.
School Board members are responsible for developing and adopting policies, which will guide the superintendent and staff as they provide for the educational needs of the students, parents, and citizens of the school district.
Other duties of the Board include:
All policies established by the Board must be consistent with the laws governing public education in the state of Indiana and must follow the guidelines set by the Indiana Board of Education.
