Summary:
|
We invite and actively seek the public’s input in the matters relevant to School Board governance and provide for time in our business meetings to hear from our residents and community members. During public comment, we expect respectful and on-topic comments. Disruptive behavior from speakers or from members of the public in attendance will not be tolerated. Anyone who willfully disrupts this meeting in a manner that prevents or interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting may be ejected by the chair.
Individuals and/or organizations wishing to speak during Public Comment must sign in with the Clerk. The sign-up sheet is available thirty minutes prior to the start of the meeting and will remain open until the Public Comment period on the agenda.
Public testimony guidelines are as follows:
1. Speakers should adhere to the following protocol:
A. State name and address or voting district.
B. Address comments to the School Board as a whole.
C. Limit comments to those matters that are relevant to School Board governance or school division operations.
D. Give written statements and other supporting material to the Clerk. If you are unable to complete the presentation in the time allotted, a copy of supporting materials will be provided to School Board members.
2. Three minutes will be allowed for each presenter to speak. [However, the Chair may reduce the time allocated for all individuals to speak to two minutes depending on the number of individuals who sign up.] A commenter will be required to discontinue comment after 3 minutes.
OR
Given there are more than ten individuals signed up for public comment, each speaker will be allowed two minutes to speak.

5. When multiple comments on the same topic have been presented, the Chair may request additional comments on the topic be limited to those who have new information to present.
