Harmony Union School District Board of Trustees
Regular Board meetings are conducted for the purpose of carrying out the business of the school district. Each meeting agenda is prepared in advance by the Superintendent and Board President. Support materials for each item are distributed to Board members prior to the meeting and are available in the district office and at the meetings for community members.
Members of the community are invited to attend all public sessions of the Board and are given the opportunity to address the Board either before or during the Board's consideration of each item to be discussed. A person wishing to be heard by the Board shall first be recognized by the Board President at the times designated for public input.
The Harmony Union School District holds its regular meeting on the third Thursday of every month (except July) in the Harmony School Library. Public session usually begins at 7:00 p.m.
