Dade County Board of Education Meets Tonight at 6 p.m.

The Dade County Board of Education holds its regular March meeting this evening at 6 p.m.  Like other governmental entities that are financed by tax dollars – in Dade, 75 cents of each property tax dollar goes to the school system – the B of E is required to operate transparently and its meetings are thus open to the public.  As a matter of practicality, though, the meetings are long, agendas are packed, and the public rarely takes the board up on the invite.  And on such occasions as the public does, the board has invoked internal guidelines decreeing that it will listen but not respond to public input. 

Nevertheless, the regular March meeting of the Dade County Board of Education is at 6 p.m. tonight in the board building in front of the high school on Highway 136 East.  Readers may reach the B of E at (706) 657-4361.
