School Board

The Robbinsdale Area Schools Board meetings are typically held the first and third Monday of each month (except when the calendar does not permit) at the Education Service Center (4148 Winnetka Avenue North, New Hope, MN, third floor boardroom).

School Board Work Sessions are scheduled to follow the first school board meeting of the month. School Board Work Sessions typically start ten minutes after the adjournment of the preceding School Board Business Meeting.  

Agendas are typically posted three days before each meeting. All Board meetings are open to the public, unless otherwise specified. 

Participation in Meetings and Listening Time

The public is welcome to attend School Board meetings, work sessions and public hearings. Members of the public may participate in regular School Board meetings in the following ways:

1.  Watch video of past School Board meetings and read minutes. The public may stream video online of past meetings and read meeting minutes.
2.  Addressing agenda items or issues not on the agenda. The public may attend the Listening Session held before the second business meeting of each month. The public is asked to complete the Listening Time Form, following the updated procedure. 

Your input is welcomed and valued even more during this unprecedented time. The School Board Listening Time protocol has been adjusted to the following:

• Complete the Listening Time Form prior to 3:00 p.m. the day of the scheduled Listening Time.
• Submitted forms will be addressed in the order they are received.
• Presenters will have 2-3 minutes to address the Board and Administrative members present.

Important reminders:

• Keep information accurate and concise.
• Minnesota data privacy laws prohibit discussion regarding specific people, including staff and students.
• If any follow-up action is needed, expect a response after we have had time to inquire about your topic.
