&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The Castle Rock School Board meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. Generally speaking, community input is taken at approximately 6 p.m. However, anyone wanting to speak to the School Board may actually request a specific time between 5:30 and 8 pm by simply phoning the district office (501-2940) a day or two in advance. T&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: &apos;Calibri&apos;,&apos;sans-serif&apos;&quot;&gt;he board generally meets in room 217 of the middle school, 615 Front Avenue South.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
