1. Call to Order

Rationale: Information concerning the Open Meeting Law, Chapter 84, Article 14 of Nebraska State Statutes, is posted in the meeting room at a location accessible to members of the public and attached to the online agenda.

School Board meetings in Nebraska are meetings held in public, not public meetings. The public comment agenda item is the only opportunity for the public to address the board.

Please silence your phones and refrain from texting or using electronics (such as computers) during the meeting; if you must use your phone, please step outside the Board Room.

Mr. Bob Schoby, Board President, will call the Board of Education Work Session to order.
