Have you ever attended a School Board meeting?
They can be quite informative and insightful as to the happenings in our district. Meetings are held in person (NSD 3330 Monte Villa Pkwy, Bothell) or can be watched later once the session is recorded.
Meetings are usually held on the second Monday of the month at 4 p.m. and the fourth Monday of the month at 7 p.m.
