Board meetings are meetings of the Board of Directors and will be held in a civil, orderly and respectful manner. All public comments or questions should be addressed to the Board through the Chair of the Board.  To ensure an orderly meeting and an equal opportunity for each speaker, persons wishing to address the Board must request a speaking slot via email. Please email Matt Brown, Chief Operating Officer of TEACH Public Schools at mbrown@teachps.org if you wish to address the Board. The email must contain speaker name, contact number or email, and subject matter and be submitted to the COO or Superintendent prior to the start of the meeting.

 

Members of the public may address the Board on any matter within the Board’s jurisdiction and have three (3) minutes each to do so. The total time for each subject will be fifteen (15) minutes, unless additional time is requested by a Board Member and approved by the Board. The Board may not deliberate or take action on items that are not on the agenda. However, the Board may give direction to staff following a presentation.

 

The Chair is in charge of the meeting and will maintain order, set the time limits for the speakers and the subject matter, and will have the prerogative to remove any person who is disruptive of the Board meeting.  The Board of Directors may place limitations on the total time to be devoted to each topic if it finds that the numbers of speakers would impede the Board’s ability to conduct its business in a timely manner. The Board of Directors may also allow for additional public comment and questions after reports and presentations if it deems necessary.

Consent Items - Items under Consent Items will be voted on in one motion unless a member of the Board requests that an item be removed and voted on separately, in which case the Board Chair will determine when it will be called and considered for action.  Due to the set-up of BoardOnTrack, approval of any board meeting minutes will be done through consent and listed as items B-Z (as needed) under "Consent Items".
