Addressing the board is governed by the board bylaws po0169.1.

The board meets twice monthly on alternating Mondays unless otherwise noted on the board's calendar. Those wishing to speak at a meeting must send a written request to the email address listed here or by U.S. Mail to the Treasurer's Office address, also listed below.

Send your email request to: addresstheboard@apslearns.org

Or send via US Mail to: CFO/Treasurer, Akron Public Schools, 10 N. Main St. Akron, OH 44308

Any person or group wishing to place an item on the agenda shall register their intent with the CFO/Treasurer no later than two (2) business days and no earlier than sixteen (16) business days prior to the meeting and include all items below:

• Name and address of the participant;
• Group affiliation, if and when appropriate; and
• Topic to be addressed.

The number of topics that may be addressed at any one meeting shall be fixed at three (3), the number of speakers on each topic shall be no more than three (3) and each speaker may not exceed three (3) minutes on any one topic.

Although the community is welcome to speak, discussions involving specific employees or situations are not appropriate topics for a public meeting of the board. Such concerns should be handled through appropriate channels – beginning at the building level and progressing through the central office administration to the superintendent.

During the meeting, guests should remain seated. Discussions or appearances by others should not be interrupted. The board president will recognize anyone scheduled to address the board at the proper time during the meeting.

Board meetings are held in the boardroom on the second floor of the Administration Building, located at 10 N. Main St. in downtown Akron, unless otherwise noted. Board meeting dates may be found here >>.

If you have additional questions, please contact the CFO/Treasurer at 330.761.2850.
