School Board meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of each month, with the exception of the January and February meetings due to holidays. Those meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month instead. Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. at the Chokio-Alberta School. Special meeting notices are posted at the school office and published in the Chokio Review whenever possible.
The public is welcome and encouraged to attend these open meetings. If an individual wishes to address the Board, they should call the school at 320-324-7131.
