    • School Board Meetings

    Meetings of the Davenport Community School Board are held to conduct the business of the Davenport Community Schools, which serve the communities of Blue Grass, Buffalo, Davenport, and Walcott.

    Regular meetings of the School Board are held at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. These meetings are held in the third-floor Jim Hester Board Room of the Davenport Schools Achievement Service Center at 1606 Brady St.

    The School Board also conducts Committee-of-the-Whole meetings at 5:30 p.m. on the first Monday of the month also in the Jim Hester Board Room. At these meetings, board members discuss a variety of topics but do not vote or take any  action.

    School Board meetings, including discussions and actions, are conducted in open session. The School Board only convenes in closed session, as provided by the Iowa Open Meetings Law, to discuss such things as personnel evaluations, litigation, real estate purchases, and student expulsions.

    The regular board meetings are televised Wednesdays at noon on Mediacom Cable Channel 19.

    Speaking Tips

    • Clearly state your name, address, and the topic you are addressing.
    • Plan to limit your comments to approximately two minutes.
    • Be aware that answers and solutions may not be addressed immediately. Many times, requests or concerns will need to be referred by the board to district employees for follow-up.
