Public Comment
Public Comment
The public comment section of the agenda provides an opportunity for individuals or members of a group to address the board on educational issues.
If you intend to provide public comment at a board meeting, please register to speak using the orange sign-in sheet located near the boardroom entrance.
To ensure fairness and provide for an orderly meeting, we respectfully require that individuals speak only once for a maximum of three minutes and may not transfer their speaking time to others.
To assist board members in review and consideration of your comments, we appreciate your providing a written copy of your remarks along with your email or mailing address on the sign-in sheet.
When addressing the board, please approach the microphone and state your name before presenting your comments. The board will listen and may offer clarification, if needed. However, the board will not engage in a discussion at this time. Depending on the nature of the topic, the board may decide to schedule it as a discussion item for a future meeting.
We kindly request that all comments remain civil and respectful, and we remind you to consider the impact of your words and know that you bear personal responsibility for their content. We caution you to avoid certain statements that may infringe upon the rights of others under various laws, including those protecting privacy or prohibiting defamation.
Providing public comment demonstrates your feelings of engagement and participation in the decision-making process in our community.
