This report is created by Ken Ducote  on behalf of the Greater New Orleans Collaborative of Charter Schools 


The Orleans Parish School Board will hold its monthly Committee Meetings beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 9, 2016, at 3250 General DeGaulle Drive, Suite  1050 (Multipurpose Room - 1st Floor). Note that this is a change in meeting rooms from the recent past.
 
Committees typically review and discuss items which will subsequently be considered at a regular Board Meeting and review the progress of the implementation of previously approved items. Therefore, Committee Meetings often provide citizens with their best opportunities for participation in discussions about important school system topics.

Complete posted agendas and back-up documents may be accessed via the School Board's website. OPSBrief has summarized the agendas below and provided links to relevant back-up documentation.

The next Regular Board Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 14th, beginning at 5:00 p.m., although a Public Hearing on Policy Matters may be held beginning at 4:30 p.m.
