    The start time for Regular meetings of the School Board is 6:00 PM on  the second and fourth Mondays of the month. 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. All board meetings are held on the  third-floor in the Jim Hester Board Room of the Davenport Schools Achievement Service Center at 1606 Brady St.

    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.
