Summary:
|
In an effort to streamline processes and assist in running a more efficient meeting, it is recommended that the School Board revise its process for signing up for Public Comment.
It is recommended that the Board implement a pilot for online sign-up for public comment. Beginning with the September 2019 work session, public comment sign-up will be available on-line and via telephone in addition to in person at the Board meeting.
How it would work
At 8 a.m. on the Monday of the Board meeting week, a link will be activated for individuals to sign-up or a call can be placed to the School Board Clerk's Office. The sign-up will remain open until Noon on the day of the meeting. A sign-up sheet will also be available on the meeting day beginning at 6 p.m.
If the Board approves this change, there will be a communication plan developed to notify stakeholders of the process change. The pilot will be re-evaluated at the beginning 2020.
Making this change will allow the Chair to review the number of speakers prior to the meeting in order to make any adjustments to the time allotted for speakers and/or depending on the number of speakers amend the proposed agenda.
In addition, Policy BDDH, Policy KD, and the Public Comment Guidelines are being recommended for changes to reflect current practice. |
