The Board of Education and Meetings
August 12, 2007
The Auburn Public Schools is governed by the Auburn Board of Education. Six members are elected for a four-year term. The board members are nonpartisan. They serve the entire school district. Three board members are elected every two years.
The regular meetings are held on the third Monday of the month. The meetings are scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Agendas are available in the superintendent's office on the Friday preceding the board meeting. Copies are also available at the meeting.
The board meetings are generally held at the Auburn City Hall, 1101 "J" Street in Auburn. However, during three months each year, the monthly meeting is held in Peru, Brownville, or Julian. Board meetings are open to the public. Notices of regular meetings are published in the local newspaper. For special meetings or when the deadline for the newspaper has passed, the notices are posted in the central office, Auburn State Bank, the Nemaha County Courthouse, and Carson National Bank.
In order to have an item placed on the agenda, an oral or written request must be made at the superintendent's office ten days prior to the scheduled meeting. The request should include the name, telephone number and address of the person making the request; the name of the organization or group represented; if any; and a statement of action to be requested by the board; as well as any pertinent background information leading to the request.
