In Person - School Board Open Office Hours with Mary Kadera and Bethany Zecher Sutton
2023-10-23 18:00 - 20:00
On Monday, October 23, Board members Mary Kadera and Bethany Zecher Sutton will host an In-Person Open Office Hours from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Central Library (Quincy Room) located at 1015 Quincy St., Arlington, VA. Visitors will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure that Board Members have an opportunity to meet with all visitors, they may need to limit the time spent with each individual or group. Open Office Hours is a forum for Board members to listen to comments and concerns and to allow community members to speak to Board members on various topics. During Open Office Hours:

Participants are expected to be courteous and respectful. If a participant is disruptive, it may be necessary for the Board member to end the meeting early.
Personnel matters are confidential. Visitors are asked to respect that confidentiality; the School Board member cannot comment nor offer their individual opinion on such matters. This silence should not be treated as an indication of any particular position on the matter.
Statements that personally attack individuals or do not relate to Arlington Public Schools’ business are not appropriate for discussion. You will be asked to limit your remarks to issues related to Arlington Public Schools’ business.
Participants are welcome to share their comments in writing by sending them to school.board@apsva.us. A copy of the remarks will be distributed to all Board members.

Please contact the School Board Office at 703-228-6015 or school.board@apsva.us if you have any questions.
