Board of Education
"Providing our community's children with a solid education is the most important investment we can make," said Curtis Shelton, Superintendent. “We're proud of our district, and School Board Recognition Month is the time to say thank you and celebrate the accomplishments of our elected board members."
Our school board members share a common goal – helping students achieve in school and life. They develop policies, keep an ear open for student and staff concerns, and serve as the community's voice in school operations. They bear responsibility for an annual budget of $16,150,700.56, serving 1,667 students, 225 employees and 4 school sites.
Our local school board members display to Bristow's students the important character qualities of trustworthiness, citizenship, and responsibility. We don't always recognize the dedication and hard work of these public servants elected to represent us and the interest of our children. Bristow school board members and years of service are:
Seat #2 - Jan Clark - 1/2 year
Seat #3 - Alan Little, Vice President - 14 1/2 years
Seat #4 - Julie Bell, President - 4 years
Seat #5 - Dewayne Scaife - 4 1/2 years

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
(REGULATION)
Members of the public shall be allowed to attend all meetings of the Board of Education. However, no member of the public has a constitutional or state law guarantee which allows him or her the right to participate in board meetings. Only those items appearing on the agenda will be addressed by the Board of Education during a lawfully convened board meeting. If a member of the public has specific comments or information that he/she would like to express to the Board of Education, the superintendent must receive a written request at least five (5) calendar days prior to the board meeting. The superintendent and Board of Education may use its discretion in placing a specific item on the agenda following receipt of the written request from the member of the public. The members of the board shall utilize the district's agenda preparation policy in placing an item on the agenda for consideration.
AGENDA PREPARATION AND DISSEMINATION
As executive officer of the Bristow Board of Education, the superintendent of schools, in consultation with the president and other members of the board, is responsible for the preparation of the agenda for board meetings. Items for the agenda may be suggested by board members, staff members, students, or patrons of the district. The inclusion of items suggested by staff members, students, or patrons will be at the discretion of the Bristow Board of Education president. If the item “new business” is on the regular meeting agenda, matters that qualify as “new business,” because they were not known or could not have been reasonably known 24 business hours prior to the meeting, may be considered and may be acted upon.

The proposal must contain sufficient information to advise the public that an executive session will be proposed, what matters are proposed to be discussed, the names of school employees (if any) to be discussed, and what action, if any, is contemplated. Executive sessions must be authorized by a vote ofthe majority of members in attendance.The agenda and any supporting material will be distributed to members of the board as far in advance of the meeting date as possible, but not less than four calendar days. Copies of the agenda will be made available to the media and the public upon request.
