INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESENTATIONS TO THE BOARD BY PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND CITIZENS

El Camino Real Alliance (“ECRA”) welcomes your participation at ECRA’s Board meetings. The purpose of a public meeting of the Board of Directors (“Board”) is to conduct the affairs of ECRA in public. Your participation assures us of continuing community interest in our charter school. To assist you in the ease of speaking/ participating in our meetings, the following guidelines are provided:

1.  Agendas are available online at www.ecrchs.net, under the Governing Board Agenda tab.  
2.  Any member of the public wishing to speak may indicate their desire to do so during the "Public Comments" section of the Agenda, or by emailing Daniel Chang at d.chang@ecrchs.net. 
3.  “Public Comments” is set aside for members of the audience to raise issues that are not specifically on the agenda. However, due to public meeting laws, the Board can only listen to your issue, not respond or take action. These presentations are limited to three (3) minutes and total time allotted to non-agenda items will not exceed thirty (30) minutes. A member of the public who requires the use of a translator, in order to receive the same opportunity as others to directly address the Board, shall have twice the allotted time to speak.  The Board may give direction to staff to respond to your concern or you may be offered the option of returning with a citizen-requested item.
4.  Members of the public may also speak on an Agenda item.  You will be given an opportunity to speak for up to three (3) minutes before the item, and total time allocated to agenda items will not exceed six (6) minutes for a discussion item and nine (9) minutes per vote item.  A member of the public who requires the use of a translator, in order to receive the same opportunity as others to directly address the Board, shall have twice the allotted time to speak, and the total allocated time shall be appropriately increased as well. 
5.  When addressing the Board, speakers are requested to adhere to the time limits set forth.  In order to maintain allotted time limits, the Board Chair may modify speaker time allocations or the total amount of allotted time for an item.
6.  Any public records relating to an agenda item for an open session of the Board which are distributed to all, or a majority of all, of the Board members shall be available for public inspection at 5440 Valley Circle Blvd., Woodland Hills, California, 91367.  All Board materials are also uploaded on the Board webpage at https://ecrchs.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=370005&type=d&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=704280.

Consent Agenda: All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered by the Board to be routine and will be approved/enacted by the Board in one motion in the form listed below.  Unless specifically requested by a Board member for further discussion or removed from the agenda, there will be no discussion of these items prior to the Board votes on them.  The Executive Director recommends approval of all consent agenda items.
