Public Participation During Meetings

 

The Board recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and the importance of involving members of the public in its meetings. The Chair is responsible for the orderly conduct of the meeting and shall rule on such matters as the time to be allowed for public discussion, the appropriateness of the subject being presented and the suitability of the time for a presentation.

In order to assist the Board in its orderly conduct of the meeting, individuals wishing to be heard by the Board shall have the opportunity to state their name, address, and the topic they wish to speak to, either in writing at the beginning of the meeting, and/or verbally at the time the topic is addressed on the agenda, and before the Board takes action on such item. Individuals, after identifying themselves, will address the Board and proceed to make their comments as briefly as the subject permits.

The Board will not entertain oral complaints about school personnel. A member of the public wishing to make such a complaint shall do so in writing to the Board Chair who shall follow the school's adopted conflict resolution policy. The Chair may interrupt or terminate an individual's statement when it is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, or irrelevant.

The Board as a whole shall have the final decision in determining the appropriateness of all such rulings.
