The format and start time of Mitchell School Board meetings may be changing. The board last night approved on first reading moving the start time a half hour later to 5:30. The board currently meets at 5 PM on the second Monday of every month from September through March and at 5 PM on the second and fourth Mondays of the month from April through August. One reason for the change in the start time is a potential change in format. Currently, public commentary is taken at the end of the school board meetings. The board may change the format so that the public would be able to comment at the beginning of the school board meeting. Another change approved on first reading yesterday limits an individual speaker to three minutes of commentary.
