Meeting agendas are available on Boardbook and are posted prior to each meeting.

The agenda also includes a section known as the Consent Agenda.

The Board considers Consent Agenda items to be routine and background information has been provided prior to the meeting.

Toward the end of each meeting, School Board members are given an opportunity to share relevant information from partnerships, assigned meetings, or community events. This portion of the meeting is called Board Communication. 

The ISD 622 School Board meetings have returned to in-person meetings. The meeting can be viewed live on the District 622 YouTube channel.  If you wish to comment on any topic included within the agenda during the School Board meeting, please plan to attend the meeting in person.   

Public comment will be limited to the submitted content and board members will not engage in dialog with the person reading their own public comment. The meetings can be viewed live on the District 622 YouTube channel.  

Each Regular School Board Meeting agenda will include an item called Public Comment.

This is an opportunity for the public to comment on any agenda item. Speakers are required to fill out a registration card and state their name and address. They will have between two and four minutes, depending on the number of speakers, to address their submitted topic. The Public Comment section of the meeting shall last no longer than 30 minutes. Speakers may not receive an immediate response to questions asked during the public comment portion of the meeting. 

The School Board will conduct one business meeting per month in the boardroom at the District Education Center, 2520 East 12th Avenue, North St. Paul, unless otherwise noted. Meeting agendas are posted on Boardbook the Friday before the meeting date. Business meetings generally begin at 6 p.m. 

Business meetings are open to the public and provide an opportunity for parents and residents to stay informed about what is happening in the district. School Board meetings are also broadcast live on Cable Channel 20 (in North St. Paul and Oakdale) as well as on the District 622 YouTube channel.

Meetings are rebroadcast daily at 10 a.m. and 4 and 8 p.m. on Channel 20 and available at any time on YouTube.

Meeting agendas are prepared by the superintendent and board chair, with assistance from staff and board members. Copies of the agenda are available for all persons attending the meeting. 

To engage district residents on education-related topics in a setting outside the formal structure of a School Board meeting, a number of public engagement opportunities will be scheduled. The public will be asked to share opinions and respond to questions from the board. The locations, dates, and times for public engagement opportunities will be posted on the website as soon as they become available.

The School Board of Independent School District 622 transacts matters pertaining to the maintenance and operation of the School District. The state gives the School Board the authority and responsibility to: 

• Develop and adopt policies for the operation of the schools.
• Employ a superintendent to provide educational leadership for the district and to serve as its chief administrative officer.
• Provide materials, equipment, supplies and facilities to support an effective educational program.
• Express and represent the view of the school district community on educational issues.
• Provide equal educational opportunities for every child in accordance with state and federal statutes.  

Members of the School Board are elected by you to represent your interests in determining how our schools will be operated.

The Board establishes policies on everything from curriculum to athletic programs, and these policies are carried out by the superintendent of schools. 

Board members must stand for election every four years.

The School Board of North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District is proud of its students, citizens, and staff who demonstrate service "above and beyond" the call of duty.

The School Board recognizes these individuals through its Achievement Awards, which are presented during Board meetings. If you know of someone who deserves to be recognized, contact May Her in the Superintendent's Office at the District Education Center.
