Agendas are posted three (3) business days prior to the Work Session.

 

Second Tuesdays of the Month
The second Tuesday of each month is scheduled for in-depth discussion of broader, strategic policy issues. Accordingly, Board consideration/action on regularly scheduled agenda items normally set on the second Tuesday of each month will be held only if necessary to make decisions that, in the Board's judgment, cannot be reasonably held over to a regularly scheduled meeting. If formal actions are not considered on these Tuesdays, the Board may use this time to conduct an informal work session, retreat or similar informal meeting.
