The Loudoun County School Board is scheduled to meet at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, at the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Administrative Offices located at 21000 Education Court in Ashburn.
The complete agenda for the meeting can be found on the School Board website under the Meetings section and through the Board Meetings & Documents link on the LCPS webpage. The board will accept both in-person and virtual public comments during this session. Details about signing up to speak are available on the Citizen Participation webpage.
Public comment sign-up closes at noon on March 10. Individuals who have not pre-registered may register in person between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. at the Administrative Offices, with walk-up speakers added to the end of the in-person comment list. The list of pre-registered speakers will be posted at the front of the building and online about an hour before the meeting begins.
Speakers must keep their remarks within a time limit set by the Chair, which is determined based on how many people wish to speak and what is listed on the agenda.
Members of the public can view both public comments and proceedings from inside the School Board Meeting Room, entering through the west entrance of the Administrative Offices.

Each attendee may bring one soft-plastic water container no larger than one liter.
