Board of Education
The Board is comprised of seven members, elected at large for three-year terms. It is responsible for establishing policies which govern the education of all children attending district schools and for insuring adherence to state laws and regulations.
The Board encourages communication and invites the public to attend its meetings. Regular meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. on the second Monday of each month or as designated. Special meetings and work sessions to be scheduled will include informational programs for parents as well as an opportunity for discussion with Board of Education members and the Superintendent of Schools.
BoardDocs
The White Plains Board of Education adopted a new technology to improve the process of Board governance. BoardDocs is a paperless management tool, designed to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of board meetings with increased transparency and more open communication with the public.
It provides electronic distribution of meeting agendas with unprecedented public access to related information. All documents associated with a meeting are archived and can be accessed using the systems search feature. Eventually, the district will also use the system for online policy management, accessible by the public.
Meeting agendas will be posted 48 hours in advance of meetings. Once the agenda is public, it will automatically appear on your screen.
Further information is available from the District Clerk at (914) 422-2071.
