PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS
All regular, special, emergency, and
work session meetings of the Board are open to the public and the media.
The agenda of all regular and work
session meetings shall provide a suitable time for comments, proposals,
and inquiries from the audience. Any citizen of the school district may
request permission to speak - no advance request is required. The Board
President shall announce the time allotted before the public comments
begin. It is the practice of the Board to allow each speaker up to five
minutes. If a presentation requires more than five minutes, the
Superintendent shall be notified by noon on the preceding Wednesday, so
that the presentation may be included as a formal agenda item.
The Board shall give due attention to
comments and contributions from the audience, but shall not be expected
to respond or take action immediately. Audience inquiries shall be
investigated and an appropriate response, written if requested, shall be
provided. If Board action is indicated, the item may be included
on the agenda for a subsequent meeting.
