Board Office Hours

The Governing Board of the Saratoga Union School District recognizes the value to promote accessibility to the community. We believe that implementing periodic, open-door meetings with community members will support our goal of building on our community of trust. Board Office Hours dates/times are posted via school eNews. No appointment is necessary to visit board members during their posted office hours.

We encourage parents and community members to first reach out to their teacher, school office or District Office with any question or concern. The public is always welcome to attend Board Meetings or email the board trustees at board@saratogausd.org.

Board Requirements and Guidelines

No one can guarantee that conversations with elected public officials will be confidential so please do not request confidentiality regarding any statements or information that is provided during community member meetings. 

To ensure compliance with the Brown Act, board members will not communicate the content of these meetings to other board members. Instead, they will report out to the Governing Board as a whole during a duly agendized Board Meeting. Because of Brown Act restrictions, decisions can only be made during this time and not during community member meetings.

Since the Brown Act only allows the Governing Board (or any subset of a quorum or greater) to meet in a duly agendized meeting, the best time to address the Board as a whole is at a public Board Meeting or via email at board@saratogausd.org.

Please remember: The Board can only take action through a majority vote of its members. Therefore, statements made by individual board members represent the view of that board member, and not the Board as a whole. Likewise, statements or information provided to individual board members are also only made to the individual board member, and not to the Board as a whole.

Please be courteous and respectful. While we might not agree on every issue, we share the common goal of providing the best education possible to our children.
