School Board Meetings and Public Participation

Public Participation

The Spring Grove Area Board of School Directors values community involvement in board meetings and encourages public comment on issues before them. To permit fair and orderly expression of such comment(s), the Board has approved Policy No. 903 for reference when considering attendance and taking an active part. Thirty minutes are reserved at the start of each meeting for public comment. Any meeting with a live stream option will not allow for interaction and/or public comment unless specifically noted on the Agenda. 

Individuals residing in the district, property owners whose property is within the district, and district employees who wish to address the board during this time period should call the Superintendent's office at 717-225-4731, ext. 3020, to be placed on the agenda. At least seven days' notice is required for a speaker to be listed on the board agenda. Individuals not registered can still provide public comment as time allows per Policy 903.
