Visitors are welcome to speak at board meetings during the Call to the Public. To address the board, please fill out a public comment card before the meeting and hand it to the board secretary. By law, the board is not permitted to discuss items that have not been posted as agenda items. However, matters may be referred to the administration for study and response at a future meeting.

Periodically throughout the year, three or more  board members may be in attendance at various school functions, activities or scheduled statewide school board conferences. None of the aforementioned activities are scheduled Thatcher Governing Board meetings and no district discussion nor action will take place.

Study sessions are scheduled as needed for the purpose of discussing one or more specific issues in depth. They may be scheduled separately, or held in conjunction with regular or special meetings. No action is taken during a study session.

By Arizona law, executive sessions may be called by the governing board to discuss: (1) personnel matters; (2) meet and confer items (negotiations); (3) legal matters with attorneys; (4) purchase or lease of real property; and, (5) litigation.
