The Providence School Board |
|

The Providence School Board is a nine member appointed board with all members serving three-year staggered terms. The Mayor established a nominating commission by executive order to seek and screen applicants on an annual basis. The nominating commission recommends candidates to the Mayor for appointment or re-appointment. The City Council confirms the Mayor’s final three selections before the new Board members officially assume office in January of each year. |

Right to be Heard – Public Comment at Board Meetings
The Board meets in public, as required by law, for the purpose of discussing and taking action on matters for which the Board is responsible. Board meetings consist of discussion among Board Members and members of the administration or invited individuals. Board meetings are meetings in public, not meetings with the public. The Board recognizes and welcomes its responsibility to receive input from the public. At the same time, responsiveness to community input must be balanced with the Board’s responsibility to ensure the integrity of its meetings so that they are both orderly and efficient. The Board seeks to ensure a clear protocol for public comment from the community at Board meetings. |
