Communication with the Board
Addressing the Board
Each board meeting includes an opportunity for the public to comment either during the Public Comment portion of the meeting or at the time a particular item is considered. To allow everyone the opportunity to speak, the Board asks that all participants respect the five minute time limit accorded to each speaker. In the case of numerous requests to address the same subject, the Board may select representatives to speak on each item. Proper decorum is requested at all times. Speakers will be asked to step down if improper language, topics, or closed session items are discussed.
Placing items on the Board's Agenda
Members of the public may request to place items on the agenda of any regular board meeting. The items must be directly related to school district business. Requests for placement must be made in writing and delivered to the Superintendent’s office not later than 4 p.m. on the eighth business day prior to the meeting. The position of the item on the agenda will be determined by the Superintendent, who may consult with the Board president on the matter. Items placed on the agenda by the public will be for information and discussion, so that the Board may be advised of the views of the community. The Board reserves the right to place the item on the agenda of a subsequent meeting for action.
