Message from a member of the board of directors


Message from a member of the board of directors:  As a reminder, individual
board members do not speak for the entire board.  The board speaks through
meetings, votes, and policies.  Each board member brings their own ideas and
opinions to the entire board. If you have thoughts or concerns, talking to
individual members of the board is a good starting place, but individuals do
not make policy decisions.  All policy votes/decisions are advertised via
meeting agendas, talked about in a public meeting, and voted upon in a
public meeting, all following the Utah Public Meeting Act.

The board of director's meeting schedule for the 2011-2012 school year is
published on the SAA Website.  All regular meetings are scheduled for 6pm.
Also posted on the website are meeting agendas (at least 24 hours before the
meeting) and meeting minutes.

The first board meeting for this school year is this Thursday, 1 September,
at 6 pm in the junior high auditorium.  This is an open meeting and we
encourage parents to attend.  Each meeting has a public comment time
scheduled on the agenda and individuals can sign up to speak to the board
during this time.  A clip board for signing up is located on the table at
the front of the room.  Again, if parents want to speak to the entire board,
this public comment time is available.

Individual board members (in case you don't know who they are) are listed on
the SAA Website with links available to send emails to each individual.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or ideas.
