The Orleans Parish School Board will hold its monthly Committee Meetings on Thursday, August 14, 2014, beginning at 1:00 p.m. All meetings will be held in the OPSB Timbers III Office Building, 3520 General DeGaulle Drive, Room 4050.

OPSBrief has summarized the posted agendas for each meeting below. To read a published agenda with back-up documentation, click on the title of the Committee Meeting of interest. Committee meetings may be convened up to 30 minutes prior to their posted times in order to facilitate the orderly flow of business. The Legal & Legislative Committee will not meet this month.

Committees typically discuss issues prior to their presentation at a subsequent Board Business Meeting and review the progress of the implementation of items previously approved by the full Board. In general, Committee Meetings afford the best opportunities for the public to participate in the discussions of specific items.
