Addressing the Board
The board of education is a legally constituted body engaged in the transaction of regular school district business, based on a written agenda, at all meetings. Board meetings are not open forum discussions, and visitors may not interrupt, question or disrupt the regular conduct of the meeting in any way.
In order to enhance communications with the community, while still preserving an orderly atmosphere for conducting regular business, visitors may participate in open meetings of the board of education during the time set aside for public comment under the following guidelines:
- No individual will be permitted to speak more than three minutes.
- Each comment period will be no more than 30 minutes.
- The board may, by a majority vote, shorten or extend the applicable time limits.
- The board president or designee will terminate a speaker's privilege if the speaker becomes abusive or threatening.
- If the speaker starts to speak about an issue that is personnel related, the board president will stop the speaker and request the issue be brought to executive session if it relates to a current Board meeting agenda item.
- If a personnel issue that is a part of the current board meeting agenda is moved to executive session, all interested parties will be allowed into executive session.
- If there are any questions or inquiries made by the speaker during the public comment section, the Board is serving in a "listen-only" mode.
- A time for public comment will be designated on the agenda near the beginning of the meeting. In addition to the rules listed above, speakers may only address items on the agenda approved by the board during this session.
- Speakers who attempt to discuss items not included on the agenda will not be allowed to speak during the public comment part of the board meeting.
- If a speaker wishes to speak to the board at the time a particular item on the agenda is addressed by the board, he or she will be allowed to do so. If the speaker exercises this option, he or she forfeits the opportunity to speak during the public comment portion of the agenda.
