Meetings/Agendas/Minutes

Meetings – The Burlington Board of School Commissioners meets at least once a month, typically on the first Tuesday of the month, with exceptions for holidays and the occasional summer recess. Meetings are held in person in the Hunt Middle School library and virtually via Zoom and Facebook. Meetings begin at 6 PM and run until the meeting is completed. Please see the Board Work Plan below for anticipated meeting dates and actions as of August 2025; please see the District calendar for monthly-updated information on meetings and times.

Agendas – At least 48 hours prior to a regular meeting, and at least 24 hours prior to a special meeting, a meeting agenda shall be posted on our Diligent webpage.

Minutes – In 2025, BSD began using Diligent to host Board and Committee Meeting documents and minutes. Please visit our Diligent webpage to access meeting agendas and draft and final meeting minutes. Except for draft minutes that have been substituted with updated minutes, posted minutes shall not be removed from the website sooner than one year from the date of the meeting for which the minutes were taken. You can find an archive of meeting minutes below.
