This complies with H.B. 197, authorizing public school boards to conduct open meetings using teleconference or other video and electronic technology during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All meetings of the board are open to the public, excluding executive sessions, which are for discussion purposes only. During an executive session, per Ohio law, boards may only discuss:
Additionally, Ohio law requires any vote by the school board must be done in a public forum.

Anyone who would like to speak on an item should complete a speaker request form, available at the sign-in table, prior to the meeting. Up to three minutes are allocated to express a concern and/or to provide additional materials to the board for later review or reply. (GJPS Policy No. 0169.1)
Board Committees
As part of the Gahanna-Jefferson Board of Education's ongoing effort to provide opportunities for more dialogue and transparency on important issues, the board has established three board committees that will meet monthly. Committee meetings are public meetings that the community is welcome to attend and are designed to provide a venue for board members to discuss issues in more depth.
