III. Meeting Procedures
On behalf of the Lamar County Superintendent and School Board, I would like to welcome everyone to the meeting. As always, we appreciate community involvement in our district and are confirmed in our belief this is what makes Lamar County Schools among the best in the state.
Copies of the agenda were available when you entered the meeting today. Any issue this Board is to address will be on the agenda in advance or will be motioned and approved as the first item of business. If any topic is not on the agenda, it cannot be discussed by the board. We did want to take a moment to remind everyone of the procedure allowing an item to be placed on the agenda or to address the board. Those requests must be submitted and approved at least ten (10) days in advance of the meeting date and receive the approval of the board president. The superintendent's office will be happy to help you with this. Thank you again for your interest and commitment to our schools. |
