Government Projects
Public Meetings
All government students are required to attend one public government meeting before the end of the 1st semester. This can include but is not limited to council meetings, township meetings, school board meetings, etc.
DO NOT put this off until the last opportunity!! You have at least 5 school board meetings, 30 township meetings & 20 village council meetings all within an 15 mile radius. PICK ONE before it is too late!!! December meetings are often cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled due to weather and holidays. If the meeting you attend enters into "executive session", you do not have to wait unless they tell you it will just be a few minutes. Public Meeting Schedules
