School Board
The Richfield Board of Education encourages open communication both during and outside of the board meetings. Board members work to be available to meet and talk with individuals.
Public Comments
If you wish to address the school board during a regular school board meeting, you may do so during the public comments portion of the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. Public comment occurs at the second meeting of the month. To participate in the public comments, individuals must make a written request to the board secretary up until one minute before the start of a board meeting. The guidelines for public comment are distributed in person at each school board meeting and are outlined in board policy 216.
PUBLIC COMMENT UPDATE: Pursuant to the resolution adopted at the board meeting on April 6, 2020, the following change was made regarding public comment:
Individuals who wish to address the school board during a regular school board meeting may do so during the public comments portion of the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. Public comment occurs at the second meeting of the month. To participate in the public comments, individuals must make a written request by noon on the day of the board meeting by emailing Board Chair Crystal Brakke at Crystal.Brakke@rpsmn.org. The guidelines for public comment are on our website (here) and will also be read at the start of the school board meeting as outlined in board policy 216.
