The purpose of this page is to explain some of the operational procedures of the R-VI School Board meetings.

Minutes of previous meetings and agenda(s) are available to the public upon request to the board secretary. Board agendas are posted in the district office, local school buildings, and sent to local news media the Friday prior to the Tuesday meeting.

The agenda for a board meeting is prepared several days in advance of the meeting. Board members receive their copy of the agenda and associated information prior to the meeting providing time for adequate study and preparation.

A request by a patron for an item to be included on the board agenda should be discussed with the Superintendent of schools at least five days prior to a board meeting.

The daily operations of the R-VI School District are governed by the Board Policy and district regulations. The school board is the policy making body for the Warrensburg R-VI Schools. Laws enacted by the Missouri General Assembly and regulations of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education also govern district operations. The school board is responsible for the establishment of goals, programs, and procedures that will serve to improve student achievement in the district, within the scope of available resources. The school board fulfills these responsibilities by formulating policy for the district and delegating policy implementation and operational responsibilities to administrators, faculty and staff.    

Board Membership
Members of the Board of Education must be citizens of the United States and resident taxpayers of the district. They also must have resided in the state for one year preceding their election and must be at least 24 years of age. Members are elected to a three year term and serve without compensation.

Solving Problems

Issues and concerns may arise as your child progresses through his/her education. Problems should be referred to those closest to and most responsible for the issues. Under most circumstances the classroom teacher is able to address concerns. Problems that require additional intervention should then be presented to the building administrator. If further assistance is needed, concerns may be presented to the proper central office administrator. For more information regarding the school district call or visit the district office at 201 S. Holden Street, (660) 747-7823 or Fax (660) 747-9615.
