Information for the Public

Public Comments
Public comments are welcome. Speaker cards may be turned in at any time before an agenda item is called. When addressing the board, please use the microphone and state your name. Individual speakers are generally allowed three minutes to address the Board, however, the time may be reduced by the Board president. When a speaker wishes to comment on multiple items, his/her time may be limited so as not to interfere with the timely completion of the board's business, and in no event shall a speaker be allowed to speak to more than three items at a single meeting. The total time allowed for public comment on any one item is 20 minutes. The times may be altered depending upon the number of speakers. Speakers may not give time to other speakers. Written comments may also be submitted. Comments on conference and action agenda items are taken during consideration of the item. There is a separate opportunity at the opening of the meeting for public comments on the consent agenda, other listed agenda topics, and on other matters not on the agenda but under the jurisdiction of the board. Since items on the Consent Agenda are considered in a single board action, comments from a single speaker on multiple items on the Consent Agenda are limited to a total of three minutes. The board of education is not responsible for the content of statements made during public comment.
