Instructions for Presentations to the Board by Parents and Citizens

Connecting Waters Charter Schools (“Schools”) welcomes your participation at the School’s Board
meetings. The purpose of a public meeting of the Board of Directors (“Board”) is to conduct the affairs of
the Schools in public. Your participation assures us of continuing community interest in our Schools. 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 “Hearing of the Public.” “Hearing of the Public” 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 when the Board discusses that item.
  4. When addressing the Board, speakers are requested to state their name and address from the
    podium and adhere to the time limits set forth.
  5. A member of the public requiring a translator will be provided twice the allotted time for public
    comment per individual speaker in accordance with Section 54954.3 of the Government Code.
  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 12420 Bentley
    Street, Waterford, California

disabilities. Individuals who require appropriate alternative modifications in order to participate in
