Dialogue with the Board

• Takes place before the regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Consideration of Visitors

• A person wishing to address the board during the formal meeting should fill out the Consideration of Visitor card.
• Citizens can address topics which are included on the agenda of a meeting of the Board of Education.
• Speakers may offer objective comments of school operations and programs that concern them. The board will not permit, in public session, any expression of personal complaints about specific school personnel, nor against any person connected with the school system.
• A person may speak for no more than 5 minutes.
• The school board will not act upon a speaker's topic at the same meeting the topic is introduced.
