The Knox County Board of Education is composed of five
citizens elected to serve terms of four years each. This group
serves without pay and is dedicated to safeguarding your investment
in the Knox County Schools through effective policy-making. The
Board of Education values input from the community regarding school
issues and extends a standing invitation to the public to attend
board meetings. The board encourages public participation by
recognition of guests as a standard agenda item at each board
meeting.
Regular meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the
Board Annex, located across the street from the main Board Office,
at 6:30pm. The public is notified of any special meetings via news
media announcements. All board meetings are open to the public. To
get on the agenda, notify the Board of Education in writing seven
working days before the regular meeting.
