Board of Education

The Haysville USD 261 Board of Education (BOE) typically meets on the third Monday of each month to discuss and make decisions on important matters affecting our schools, staff, students, and community. These meetings are open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend or tune in to stay informed about the direction of our district. Any changes to meeting dates are announced in advance and posted on the district’s official website.

Meeting Agendas

The Board agenda outlines the topics and action items scheduled for discussion during each meeting. Agendas are published on the district website on the Thursday prior to the scheduled meeting. This advance notice allows the public to review upcoming decisions and participate more meaningfully in the process. 

Public Comment Guidelines

Public participation is a valued part of our governance process. Individuals wishing to address the Board during a meeting must:

• Call the BOE Clerk at 316-554-2200 to request to speak, no later than the Tuesday before the regularly scheduled Monday meeting.

• Approved speakers will be placed on the agenda and provided up to 5 minutes to share their comments or concerns with the Board.

We understand that matters may arise after the sign-up deadline. In such cases, the BOE reserves the right to allow unscheduled speakers, who will be given up to 2 minutes to speak. If multiple individuals plan to address the same topic, the Board may request that the group appoint a single spokesperson to speak on behalf of all parties to ensure efficient use of meeting time.
