Policy on Public Participation
at Board Meetings
An opportunity for visitors to address the Board of Education is provided
during the two "Public Comment" portions of the meeting. The Board of
Education encourages public participation at its meetings and recognizes its
responsibility to hear public comment.
Prior to addressing the board, individuals must first notify the district
clerk and complete a sign-up form before the start of the meeting. If you
know well in advance that you would like to address the board, you may
contact the district clerk at 456-6200, ext. 3125, to receive and then
return the sign-up form in order to be included on the agenda.
In general, comments should not exceed three to four minutes and should
relate to school matters. Although the Board of Education welcomes comments
about programs offered by the district and the efforts of its staff, the
discussion of matters related to specific individuals is expressly
prohibited. Persons who desire to speak to the board about such matters
should request an Executive Session in a letter written to the Board
President, briefly outlining the issue to be discussed. Granting such
requests will be at the discretion of the board.
