Many charter school boards have found it helpful to print this out on laminated cards and hand to any members of the public that attend a board meeting.

Welcome to The THB Academy Charter School’s board meeting. We appreciate your interest and involvement in making our organization a success.

For your convenience, we have outlined below THB’s protocol for public comment and participation during our Board Meetings.

Meetings

• We welcome the public to all of our meetings
• THB adheres to all of the requirements of the Open Meeting Act.
• “The purpose and clearly stated intent of the Open and Public Meetings Act is to ensure that actions of the state are conducted openly and that the people’s business is done in full view of the public.”
• The intent is that you can watch the public charter school board conducting its business, not that you get to weigh in at every juncture.

Seating

• Board Members, THB Academy senior staff, and the CEO are invited to sit at the board table.
• A public seating area is provided for parents, teachers and other guests.

Public Comments

• For concerns or comments that the public wishes to have addressed during the Board Meeting, please submit them in writing to board@THBAcademy.org forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the meeting. The Board Chair will consider those items for inclusion on the next board meeting agenda, and you will be notified 24 hours in advance of the meeting whether the item will be included. 

Thank you for attending our board meeting.
