COLTON -- Residents who want to know what's going on in the schools just got a better, more convenient opportunity to participate at public board meetings.
After a pilot program testing an earlier start time, the Colton Joint Unified school board has decided to carry on with the new time, and make life easier on residents.
Public sessions will continue to start at 5:30 p.m., instead of the pre-pilot time of 6:30 p.m.
Now, after items on the agenda are heard, the public can weigh in earlier, before the board goes into closed session. Public comment precedes the action session.
Meetings are generally held on the first and third Thursday of the month -- at 5:30 p.m. -- in the Board Room at the district's Student Services Center, 851 S. Mount Vernon Ave. in Colton.
