School board approves new time, policy updates

The Petersburg School Board on Tuesday approved seven changes to its policy and one change to its bylaws, which changes future board meeting times.

“If we’re going to have a focus on kids and have kids at our board meetings to do presentations, I know that sometimes our board meetings can get a little late in the evening during the school year,” said school board president Mara Lutomski at a board meeting in June. “I also would prefer to be done a little bit earlier.”

Board Bylaw 9320 will now have board meetings beginning at 6 P.M. on the second Tuesday of the month, instead of 7 P.M.
