The Wickliffe City School District's Board of Education is composed of five members elected to four-year terms by the citizens of the district. Under Ohio law, board members may be paid as much as $125.00 each per meeting.

 

Several days prior to regular meetings, board members are furnished a list of the bills to be paid, recommendations of the superintendent, and any other business likely to be considered. This advance agenda gives each board member an opportunity to study and consider current business ahead of the actual meeting. Thus, a great deal of time is saved in the handling of routine matters.

 

The president of the board recognizes visitors immediately after the financial transactions are completed, which is usually ten to fifteen minutes after the meeting begins. This is the time when citizens who wish to, should address the board. Since the president of the board is usually the chair of the meeting, you should direct your remarks to him/her. He/she may reply to your remarks, or ask the superintendent or other administrative staff members, or board members to assist in clarifying an issue. Visitors are also recognized for the purpose of discussing agenda items at the conclusion of the superintendent's recommendations.
