Board Meetings - Guilderland Central Schools

Regular meetings of the Guilderland Board of Education are usually held Tuesday evenings, twice a month. The meetings begin at 7 p.m. and are held in the high school large group instruction (LGI) room. All meetings are open to the public and broadcast live on Spectrum Cable Channel 1302/33 within the Town of Guilderland.

Due to the Governor’s executive order temporarily changing the laws governing public meetings during the COVID-19 public health crisis, the Board of Education meetings will take place via videoconferencing or in-person and livestreamed to YouTube until further notice.

Meeting agendas and minutes are posted on the district’s online board portal, which provides community members with comprehensive information about the GCSD Board of Education activities.
Persons wishing to speak under the “Public Comment” section of the meetings should contact the District Clerk at 518-456-6200 ext. 3125 or via email livingstonl@guilderlandschools.net with “Public Comment” in the subject line.
