Public Participation

Persons wishing to address the Board will advise the superintendent of schools or Board president within a reasonable time prior to the start of the public comment period of the meeting. The request will be made in writing on a form provided by the district. To maintain a first come, first served process, the district will request the name of the speaker via the sign in sheet. For purposes of following up with speakers later, the district may request the speaker’s preferred contact information such as home address, telephone number or email address, or speak with them in person. To limit comments to matters which may be properly discussed in public session, the Board will request a brief description of the topic to be addressed. Any group or organization wishing to address the Board must identify a single spokesperson. The Board president may limit the number of repetitive comments to keep within time limit for the public comment period.

Presentation should be as brief as possible. No speaker will be permitted to speak for longer than three minutes. Speakers may not give unused time to other speakers. Speakers may comment on:

  • any matter related to district business;
  • any agenda item; or
  • matters related to agenda items specifically or district matters generally, depending on the public comment section.

The Board will not permit in public session discussion involving individual district personnel or students. Persons wishing to discuss matters involving individual district personnel or students should present their comments and/or concerns to the superintendent during regular business hours.

All speakers and observers are to conduct themselves in a civil manner. Obscene language, defamatory statements, threats of violence, statements advocating racial, religious, or other forms of prejudice will not be tolerated.

Persons making presentations at a Board meeting will address remarks to the president and may direct questions or comments to Board members or other district officials only upon the approval of the president. Board members and the superintendent have the privilege of asking questions of any person who addresses the Board, but commenters should not expect to engage in discussion with the Board. However, the Board may correct comments that are not accurate, and may refer to an existing policy when it answers a question.
