Public Comment at BOE Meetings
Persons may address the board for up to three (3) minutes in the Public Comment segment of the meeting by providing your name and jurisdiction (City, Township / County) on one of the Public Comment forms provided at the sign in table and turning it in to the Superintendent’s Assistant.
The meeting chair will use the Public Comment forms submitted to invite persons to come forward to make their public comment at the appropriate time.
Board Meetings are constructed to conduct necessary business of the board, while allowing time for the public to express concerns and opinions. Out of respect for board members, students and staff, you will be interrupted if you:
- Personally attack a board member or district employee on issues unrelated to their job performance.
- Mention a student’s name when discussing behavior or other incidents.
- Engage in discussion with other members of the audience.
You will be reminded when you are approaching the end of your three-minute limit so you can conclude with your strongest points.
The board will not respond to questions or comments during public comment, but the Superintendent will do his best to answer questions at the end of the meeting. If immediate answers are not available, arrangements will be made to provide you with the information requested.
