| “ | To provide for full and open communication between the public and the Board of Education, the Board authorizes the following avenues for the exchange of information, ideas and opinions.
Students, employees and any members of the public are encouraged to utilize established policies and procedures for offering suggestions or addressing concerns and complaints prior to bringing the issue before the Board. The Board believes that many issues can be resolved by communication with teachers, administrators and other staff and may refuse to address an issue if the individual presenting it has not first attempted to resolve the matter through established procedures and policies.
Written correspondence may be directed to the Board, through the superintendent, for consideration at a meeting. Copies of all correspondence directed to the Board will be made available to all Board members. Statements of two (2) pages or less are encouraged.
Any member of the public who wishes to have an item placed on the agenda will present the request in writing to the superintendent or designee. The request must be submitted pursuant to Board policy and received five (5) business days prior to the scheduled meeting. The item will then be appropriately placed on the agenda. The Board reserves the right to impose reasonable restrictions on the number of items to be considered, the number of spokespersons and the speaking time of spokespersons appearing before the Board. If the meeting agenda is full, the Board reserves the right to reschedule an item for the next regular meeting. The Board may refuse to address an issue that has not gone through the appropriate grievance procedure. The Board reserves the right to waive formalities in emergency situations, within the limitations of the law.
From time to time, the Board will schedule a public hearing to receive input on matters of concern to the community, such as setting the district's tax rate. The public will be provided notice of such hearings as required by law.

Proficiency assessments[edit]
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[15]
Mathematics[edit]
The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[16]

Noteworthy events[edit]
2016: Former district administrators ordered to repay retirement benefits[edit]
In April 2016, former superintendent Dan Colgan was ordered to repay $660,000 to the Missouri Public School Retirement System (PSRS) as part of a settlement. Colgan had inflated his salary in order to increase his monthly retirement benefits.[21] On June 13, 2016, Colgan pled guilty to one count of wire fraud in U.S. district court and entered into a plea agreement with the federal government. Colgan was sentenced to one year and one day of imprisonment in federal prison.[22]
In May 2016, former district assistant superintendent for personnel Mark Hargens and former superintendent Melody Smith were ordered to repay PSRS a combined $113,000 for allegedly inflating their reported income to increase their retirement benefits.[23] Hargens was unable to comment on his case.
2015-2016: Stipend misconduct and investigations[edit]
The St. Joseph School District was investigated by the Missouri State Auditor, the United States Department of Education, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation related to stipends issued by former Superintendent Fred Czerwonka. The former superintendent, appointed in July 2013, allegedly used a rebate from the district's insurance provider to distribute $270,000 in stipends to 54 administrators without board approval. The school district's policy required a report to the school board and a deposit of any excess funds including refunds from vendors. Czerwonka, district Human Resources Director Doug Flowers, and school board member Dan Colgan were accused of using their positions to guarantee promotions within the district and raises for family members. On January 20, 2015, both Czerwonka and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Rick Hartigan were placed on paid administrative leave. In February 2015, the board voted to fire Czerwonka. Hartigan was fired the following week. Colgan resigned on March 5, 2015. During an April 2015 board meeting, the school board appointed local business executive Eric Bruder to fill the vacant seat.[24] Flowers left the district with a severance package in July 2015.[25]
2015: Tax levy renewal[edit]
In May 2015, the St. Joseph school board did not renew a portion of its operating property tax levy, which was scheduled to sunset between April 2015 and August 2015. The amount at stake in the levy was 63 cents per $100 in assessed property value.[26]
Several parents and local business leaders interviewed by Ballotpedia and the St. Joseph News-Press indicated that they were either reluctant to support the levy or in opposition to it because of their lack of trust in district leadership. In an interview, former acting superintendent Jake Long said that the administration was optimistic about the levy's chances at the ballot box. Long added that even if the levy had been unsuccessful, it would not have impacted the district until the 2015-2016 school year.[27]
