Public Comment

The Board of Education welcomes public comment during the Public Comment portion of the agenda.  Those who wish to address the board should state their name and limit their statement to five minutes.  Comments are not restricted to items on the agenda; however, comments regarding specific student discipline cases or personnel issues are not allowed during Open Session.  Generally, these types of comments should come to the board only after they have been referred to the teacher, principal, or administrator who is closest to the situation.  If all other avenues for resolving these items have been exhausted and the issue has not been resolved, you may request to address the board, usually during closed session.

District Youtube Channel

During the school year, the Mercer County High School podcast club livestreams all regular Board of Education meetings on the district Youtube channel. Recordings are posted after the event. A link to our Youtube Channel can be found in the "Quick Links" section of the website home page.
