Board of Education

The Board of Education establishes school policies, approves personnel appointments, adopts budgets, approves textbook selections, awards bids, and has complete and final control over controversial school issues.

All actions of the Board require the affirmative vote of at least five of the nine members. These members are unsalaried and are elected to three-year terms of office.

Community members are encouraged to attend all meetings. A record of the proceedings of the Board is available for inspection by the public in the district administrative offices.

Regular Board meetings are held on the third Monday of each month in the Waterloo Middle School Large Group Instruction Room, at 7:00 PM unless otherwise noted in the calendar. Additional "programs" and "special" meetings are also scheduled throughout the year.

For inquiries regarding speaking at Board Meetings please contact the District Clerk, Stephanie Wilson, by email at stephanie.wilson@waterloocsd.org.
