INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESENTATIONS
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, the following guidelines are provided:
  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 “Oral Communications.”  “Oral Communications” 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 fifteen (15) minutes.  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.
  3. You may also complete a “Request to Speak” form to address the Board on Agenda items. With regard to such agenda items, you may specify that agenda item on your “Request to Speak” form and you will be given an opportunity to speak for up to three (3) minutes.
  4. When addressing the Board, speakers are requested to state their name and adhere to the time limits set forth.
  5. 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
