FPS School Board Communicating with the Public

001The Fargo Board of Education is made up of  nine residents in the Fargo Public Schools   attendance area. It is the boards role to  interpret the needs of the Fargo community.   How do I contact a School Board member to provide  feedback? The board welcomes receiving feedback   and suggestions from the public. Community  members have a variety of ways of contacting   board members including phone and email. Contact  information is available on the boards website.   There is also a 'Contact Boards Members' form on  the website that emails all board members along   with members of administration. Residents are  also welcome to provide comments to the board   in person at the beginning of every regular school  board meeting regarding items on that meetings or   the preceding meetings agenda. The Fargo Board  of Education is committed to discussing issues   in an open and public manner that complies with  state law. While interested in you comments board   members may or may not respond to or debate  this issue using email or the contact board   members form as a response from all members may  constitute a meeting of the board and violate   North Dakota's open meeting laws. If your message  is directly associated with school operations you   may receive a response from administration. At  times only the board president may respond on   behalf of the board. The board values feedback and  interest in our schools. Together as a community   we can fulfill our mission of education  and empowering all students to succeed.
