The Pinellas County School Board will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the district administration building, 301 Fourth St. SW, Largo.

The public is invited to attend. Agenda items include distribution of the 2006 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which details student-reported information on issues related to health, injury and disease prevention. The board also will consider setting a public hearing to amend district policy to allow early college admission students to participate in high school-sponsored athletics, graduation and other school activities.
