Citizens who wish to speak during board of education meetings should use one of the following procedures. OPEN COMMENT TIME Open comment time is available at each board of education meeting for district patrons to offer suggestions on topics that are not on the current meeting agenda. Topics may include suggestions for improving district services, policies, etc. (Comment time regarding items presently on the board meeting agenda is available by a separate process below.) The first three patrons to register for a given board meeting will be given an opportunity to speak for up to five minutes each. Open comment time may not be used by district employees or their representatives to circumvent established communication, grievance, or negotiation procedures.

COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS At its discretion, the board of education may allow time for district patrons to comment on items on the current board meeting agenda. The board will seek to allow different perspectives to be expressed.

Please note: The board may choose to limit the time, the number of speakers, or invite comment from additional speakers who have not signed up. Comments on items with scheduled public hearings (e.g., tax hearings, boundary recommendations) will be heard only during those scheduled hearings.
