Meetings

The Mequon-Thiensville School District Board of Education is now conducting hybrid meetings.

This format allows those viewing the meeting remotely the same level of participation as those attending in-person. Allowing for equal access to the meeting by all participants, regardless of in-person or virtual attendance, is a priority for the Board and we look forward to ensuring all members of the public are able to participate in meetings in their preferred format.
