Public Comment
District patrons wishing to have an item placed on the Board meeting’s agenda must submit their requests, in writing to the Superintendent, at least seven days prior to the meeting of the Board. The written request must be sufficiently descriptive to enable the Superintendent and Board President to fully understand and evaluate its appropriateness to be an agenda item. Such requests may be accepted, rejected, or referred back to the individual for further clarification.
The Superintendent shall notify the Board President of all written requests to be placed on the agenda along with the Superintendent’s recommendation concerning the request. No item shall be placed on the agenda that would operate to prejudice the Board concerning a student or personnel matter that could come before the Board for disciplinary or employment considerations or that is in conflict with other District policies or laws.
Patrons whose written request to be placed on the meeting’s agenda has been accepted shall have no more than three (3) minutes to present to the Board unless specifically granted additional time by a motion approved by a majority of the Board. The speaker shall limit his/her comments to the approved topic/issue or forfeit his/her right to address the Board. The members of the Board will listen to the patron’s presentation, but shall not respond to the presenter during the meeting in which the presentation is made. The Board may choose to discuss the issue presented at a later meeting but is under no obligation to do so.
