Oregon law establishes boards of directors for local school districts. The Cascade School District Board is a five-member body. Each board member is elected by local voters to serve a four-year term without pay. Terms of office commence and expire with the district's fiscal year (July 1) and are staggered so that no more than three positions become vacant in the same year. Officers of the board are elected annually at the July board meeting. The board is a policy-making body and maintains an administrative staff to implement policy and procedures. 

The Cascade School Board meets on the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the district office unless otherwise posted.

The Board values the time and initiative members of the public take to share their thoughts. The Board’s role during public comment is not to immediately respond, but to listen. If there is follow-up necessary, they will direct the Superintendent to do so. Speakers may offer objective criticism of school operations and programs. The Board will not hear comments regarding any personally identifiable District staff member. If the comments contain this type of information, the Board chair will direct the speaker to the procedures in Board policy KL - Public Complaints. The laws governing boards of education require that their work be done where the public can observe their actions.  Please remember that this is the board’s meeting for the public to observe.  Others may participate only with the approval of the board. 

Please note: It is especially important to remember that we all model behavior for our students, and we ask that you share your thoughts in a respectful way.  The Board chair will ask you to stop speaking if you are not able to adhere to these guidelines.  Audience time is not intended as a forum for public debate.  

Thank you for your support of our school district. When addressing the Board, please stand up and clearly state your name and the topic for the record. If you represent a group or organization, please state that information. Limit your comments to three minutes, as the School Board would like to hear from all patrons wishing to speak.
