The Arlington School Board’s April schedule of Board Meetings, Work Sessions, and Advisory Council and Committee Meetings is now available.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this schedule is subject to change with advance notice provided on the APS website. The information provided below was updated on March 26, 2021. For more information, contact the School Board Office at 703-228-6015.
April School Board Meetings
As of March 11, 2021, regular School Board meetings are held in-person. Work sessions and most other meetings will continue to be held virtually until further notice. To meet safely, the School Board is taking steps to protect the community, staff, and Board members as they conduct public business. During in-person meetings, the Board will comply with all health and safety guidelines. Special accommodations will be made for attendees who cannot wear a mask due to a medical condition.
All Citizen Comment will be heard at the beginning of the Board meeting and the comment period is limited to one hour. The Board will offer speakers the option to call in or to sign up to speak in person. The Board will allow up to 15 in-person speakers and 15 call-in speakers. If fewer than 15 people sign up to speak in person, the Board will allow additional call-in speakers to fill any empty slots. A lottery process will continue to be used if more than 30 speaker requests are received. Please go to the Sign Up to Speak at a School Board Meeting page for directions.
