Fifteen minutes will be allocated on the agenda for public input at each meeting. Additional time may be added at the discretion of the Chair.
Public comment may be oral, in person, or in written form to be read by the Chair.
Public comment is limited to no more than 3 minutes per person.
It is recommended that public comment be written out and provided to the board following the three minutes to ensure the entire message is heard by the board.
Each speaker will clearly state their full name and county of residence.
All public comment should be factual and should not include personally identifiable
information of students or personnel in order to maintain confidentiality. Speakers
should avoid using names of students or staff and maintain confidentiality and
privacy standards.
All public comments will be taken under advisement by the Board, but will not elicit
an immediate written or spoken response. The names of persons providing public comment and
a brief summary of topics or input will be included in the meeting minutes published.
A response will be provided to the stakeholder within seven (7) days.
Specific issues about a particular student or teacher should be addressed to the school’s executive director, rather than the Board of Directors.
