As a resident of Crestview Local School District, you are invited to become active in the educational life of your community by attending meetings of the Board of Education.
Meeting Times & Dates
Typically, regular meetings are held at 6 p.m., the third Monday of each month, in the district’s middle school assembly room located at 1575 State Route 96, Ashland, Ohio.
Times, dates, and agendas of all Board meetings are available in the Board of Education office, at the regular Board of Education meetings and they are listed on the District calendar and website under the Board of Education tab, Board Agenda and Briefs.
Meetings of the Board are open to the public, except for executive sessions during which Board members may discuss only business as defined by the Ohio Revised Code. These are personnel matters, sale or purchase of property, legal matter, and negotiations or bargaining sessions. Executive sessions are for discussion only. All formal action must be taken at a regular or special meeting open to the public.
Agendas & Public Participation
Agendas will be distributed to all those who attend Board meetings. That section on the agenda for public participation will be marked with an asterisk. Noted at the bottom of each agenda will be a short paragraph outlining the Board’s policy on public participation at Board meetings.
Persons desiring more time should follow the procedure of the Board to be placed on the regular agenda.
If you wish to speak to the Board of Education, time is set aside at the beginning of each regular meeting for citizens to discuss issues of concern.
In order for the Board to fulfill its obligation to complete the planned agenda in an effective and efficient fashion, a maximum of 30 minutes of public participation will be permitted at each meeting. If several people wish to speak, each person will be allotted three minutes until the total time of 30 minutes is used. During that period, no person may speak twice until all who desire to speak have had the opportunity to do so. The period of public participation may be extended by a vote of the majority of the Board. Each person addressing the Board will give his/her name and address.*
