The next regular meeting of the school board will be held on Monday, April 8 at 6:00 p.m. at the Garretson School Library. All members of the public are invited to attend.

UPDATE 3/14/24: Information received from sources on 3/14/24 have now called into question whether the agenda was posted on the door of the school building by the proper time. We will update our readers when we know more.
