        Description: 
 
                            The River Trails School District 26 Board of Education welcomes all residents to attend and participate in Board Meetings. In an effort to keep Board meetings to a reasonable length, we ask visitors to make statements at one or both of the allotted Visitor Comment sections listed on the agenda. Please complete the visitor comment form, submit the completed form to the Clerk of the Board or the Board President and the Board President or a representative will read the comment aloud. It is requested that comments be kept at a reasonable length and no communication amongst the audience to be shared during the Visitor Comment section. There is a second opportunity for visitors to comment in the second half of the meeting.
