Public Participation at Board Meetings
Public Comments will generally be limited to 3 minutes. The Public Comment portion of the meeting can be limited to 30 minutes to move forward with Board business. The time limit for public participation may be extended upon the majority vote of the Board members at the regular or special meeting. Attendees interested in Public Comment must be present and sign only themselves in by filling out and signing a comment card, available outside of the Boardroom doors, prior to the start of open session. By signing in, you agree to follow the expectations outlined in Policy 8:30 (Visitors to and Conduct on School Property). Board policy 2:230 requires those speaking to identify themselves by first and last name. Comments should be in good taste and demonstrate consideration for others. Comments regarding specific individuals are inappropriate.
Who Else May I Contact?
While anyone is welcome to speak to the Board of Education, please keep in mind that there are also other channels available to individuals who have a question or concern. A classroom question or concern should be discussed with the classroom teacher. If the issue is not resolved at the classroom level, the issue may be brought to the attention of the principal. A school-level question or concern should be discussed with the principal (or department supervisor). If the issue is not resolved at the school level, the issue may be brought to the attention of one of District 428's Directors.
