Marcola School Board Members are elected each year and usually meet once a month unless a special hearing is held. School Board Members volunteer their time to work with district staff and administrators to execute our collective vision for the youth of our great community. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us online or come to one of our public monthly hearings.

Regular board meetings are scheduled for the 2nd Monday of each month at 6 PM.

There is a delay between the time the board makes policy changes and the time those changes are available on this site. The policies on this site are for information only and do not reflect any updating activities in progress. Official policies and administrative regulations are available from Heather VanderPloeg at hvanderploeg@marcola.k12.or.us.
