Four public hearings are on the agenda for the District #18 Board of Education when they meet next week.
The regular meeting of the school board will be held on Tuesday evening, July 12, in the distance learning room. The monthly meeting, open to the public, will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Public hearings will be held on policies concerning:
• Student Fees (504.19)

Later in the meeting, following the conclusion of the hearings, the board will vote on whether or not to approve the policies.
