Scheduled Meetings

Board of Education meetings are held at the Waterford Township Auditorium on the first and third Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. All meetings are open to the public. Special meetings are held whenever necessary. By law, closed executive sessions can be held only to discuss matters which require confidentiality. However, all formal actions resulting from these meetings must be in a public session. Meetings are shown live on Comcast Channel 22, the district's educational channel and are replayed Fridays at 10:00 a.m. and every day at 7:00 p.m. Meetings can also be viewed via web streaming from the Live 22 button at www.waterford.k12.mi.us.

Active Audience

For those who wish to participate at the Board meeting, public comment cards are available at the sign-in desk. Your card must be presented to the President of the Board prior to the meeting being called to order. The President of the Board is responsible for recognizing all speakers. You will be introduced under the audience participation section of the agenda. Participants are requested to keep their remarks as brief and to the point as possible.

Resolving a Concern

The Board and the staff of the Waterford School District are dedicated to the health, safety, and educational welfare of our students. If you have a question or concern, we encourage you to first seek an answer or resolution at the building level where the issue can be addressed most effectively. The following steps outline the procedure to be followed:

• Issues concerning students or teachers should first be discussed with the teacher involved.
  If the teacher is unable to satisfactorily resolve the matter, then it may be discussed with the building principal.

• If the issue is not resolved by the principal, it may be brought to the attention of the Directors of Elementary, Secondary, or Special Education.

• If the issue is not satisfactorily resolved by the Director, it may be presented to the Superintendent.

• Issues still not resolved may be presented to the Board of Education. In seeking solutions to problems or questions relating to district-wide decisions, please attempt to resolve the issue with the Superintendent before taking the issue to the Board.
