Board of Education

The nine-member RCS Board of Education meets regularly during the school year. Exceptions are made to avoid conflicts with religious holy days, state and national conferences, or extended recess periods.

The meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. and the doors open at 5:45 p.m. Location, unless otherwise noted on the agenda, is the High School Library.

Meetings may also be held at the various school buildings, and in those cases, advance notice of the meeting is given on this website. The board of education holds special meetings as needed.
