INSTRUCTIONS FOR IN-PERSON PRESENTATIONS AND/OR COMMENTS TO THE BOARD BY PARENTS 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, we gladly provide you the following guidelines: 

1. Agendas are available to all audience members at the door to the meeting. 

2. “Request to Speak” forms are available to all audience members who wish to speak on any agenda items or under the general category of “Public Comments.”  

3. Please provide your completed "Request to Speak" form to Dr. Lowry, Director, Human Resources and Compliance, prior to the item on which you would like to speak and/or prior to "Public Comments."

4. “Public Comments” time is set aside for members of the audience to raise issues that are not specifically on the agenda. 

NOTE: Due to public meeting laws, the Board can only listen to your issue, not respond or take action.   

5.  IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING IN-PERSON PUBLIC COMMENTS: 

Effective May 19th, 2022, public comments presentations at all ECRA Regular and Special Board Meetings and Committee Meetings must be made in person.  

There is no obligation on the part of the school to have a school official read public comments during in-person Board Meetings.  

A member of the public is welcome to appear at the Board meeting to make a public comment or make arrangements with another person in attendance to speak on the person's behalf.                  

6. "Public Comments" presentations are limited to two (2) 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 an oral interpreter, in order to receive the same opportunity as others to directly address the Board, shall be permitted twice the allotted time to speak. 

7. Total time allocated to agenda items will not exceed six (6) minutes for a "Discussion" item and nine (9) minutes per "Vote" item.

8.  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. 

9. When addressing the Board, speakers are requested to state their name and 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.  
 

10. 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.  

CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS: 

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.
