Stargate School will provide a differentiated program designed specifically to meet the needs of identified intellectually gifted learners in order to challenge each student’s academic abilities, support their unique emotional needs, promote individual character development and encourage a life-long love of learning.

Executive Director and/or Board Members may highlight special contributions or achievements of members of our community (students, staff, volunteers).  (Optional participation)

Public Comments Reminder: The board meeting is structured to allow the Governance Board to conduct its business in a timely manner. Comments may not be immediately addressed but may be considered as future agenda items. 

Comments are limited to 3 minutes each, and total time allotted for all public comments will not exceed 45 minutes. Those wishing to speak that do not get the opportunity to do so can submit their comments to governance@stargateschool.org or may attend the next board meeting to do so. Please note that time may not be donated to others and comments are expected to maintain professional courtesy, civility, and respect.

Community members are offered an opportunity to sign up for Public Comment at the beginning of each meeting. Only those who have signed up are permitted to offer comment during this time. The "Public Comment Reminders" are read by a Board Member prior to any comments being heard.

Anyone wishing to speak must sign-in before the public comment portion of the meeting at this link.
