Board Policy Manual

The Dougherty County Board of Education is the governing body for the school system. Board members are elected for four-year terms. Six district members are chosen from geographic districts that coincide with the districts for Dougherty County Commission members. The seventh Board member is elected "at-large" from the entire county. Members elect their chairman and vice-chairman who serve two-year terms.

Board Meetings
Regular monthly meetings are scheduled the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the School Administration Building  located at 200 Pine Avenue. Board Work Sessions are scheduled at pre-announced school locations at noon the last Wednesday in the month.

Public Attendance
The public is encouraged to attend Board meetings. Sessions are open to the public, with the exceptions specifically allowed by law (personnel matters, real estate matters and legal matters). Citizens who wish to address the Board should submit a statement in writing to the Superintendent five days before the date of the meeting.  The statement should include the topic and the name of the spokesperson to be placed on the Board's agenda. A spokesperson must be named if a delegation wishes to address the Board. Citizens are limited to ten minutes. To speak at a Board meeting without prior approval, a citizen must sign in at the beginning of the Board meeting. The topic must be an item on the agenda and the time is limited to five minutes.
