How to Provide Public Comments at School Board Meetings
Individuals can provide in-person, telephonic, or written comments to the School Board at their Regular Meetings. Speakers are limited to three minutes per person. You may not sign up other individuals to speak.
Please note:
- Board members do not answer questions or engage in discussion with members of the public during comments. This is your time to speak and the Board’s time to listen. The Board will consider all information shared by the public, and when deemed necessary, issues raised in public comments will be referred to the Administration for follow-up.
- Per Board Policy BB 9323-Meeting Conduct:
- No disturbance or willful interruption of any School Board meeting shall be permitted. Persistence, by an individual or group, shall be grounds for the chair to terminate the privilege of addressing the meeting. The School Board may remove disruptive individuals and order the room cleared if necessary.
- No oral presentation shall include charges or complaints against any employee of the School Board, including the Superintendent, regardless of whether or not the employee is identified by name or by another reference which tends to identify. Charges or complaints against employees must be submitted to the School Board under the provisions of School Board policy and administrative regulations related to such complaints.
- Board members do not answer questions or engage in discussion with members of the public during comments. This is your time to speak and the Board’s time to listen. The Board will consider all information shared by the public, and when deemed necessary, issues raised in public comments will be referred to the Administration for follow-up.
