Board of Education

Regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Education are officially posted 24 hours or more before a meeting held. The meetings take place on specified Tuesday evenings beginning at 6:00 PM (unless otherwise posted). The meetings are held in the Boardroom at the Educational Services Center, 527 S. Franklin Street in Janesville, Wisconsin.

During the board meeting, the Board officially acts on issues from the prior committee meetings and agenda items requiring a board decision that evening. Agendas for the board and committee meetings are determined in advance by the Board President and the Superintendent.

All meetings are open to the public; however, certain topics must meet in closed session. For example closed session is usually held for salary negotiations, expulsions and personnel matters. The school district is governed under the open meeting law for closed session. Announcements must be made as to topics that will be discussed in the closed session. Action taken in closed session is reported at the next regular board meeting.

The public is notified of the meetings through the local media. All meeting agendas and outcomes can be accessed through our online portal BoardDocs (https://www.boarddocs.com/wi/janesville/Board.nsf/...). The public is invited to attend and can address the board at the meetings under the Citizens Comments portion of the agenda.
