Public Participation at Board Meetings

All regular and special meetings of the School Board shall be open to the public as required by law.

Because the Board desires to hear the viewpoints of citizens throughout the district, it shall offer suitable time at Regular Board Meetings for citizens to be heard.

Public Participation Policy

  • The board shall listen to citizen views but cannot discuss or act on any item of business not  specifically included in the public notice of the meeting.

  • Comments and questions at a Board meeting may deal with any topic related to district operations and programs. 

  • A staff member may be heard by the Board as a member of the general public when the subject on which she/he wishes to be heard relates to her/his role as parent, concerned citizen, or taxpayer rather than to her/his role as staff member.
     
  • Questions asked by the public shall, when possible, be answered immediately by the President or referred to staff members for reply; questions requiring an investigation shall be referred to the Board or administrative staff for consideration and later response.

See Policy 187 in its entirety.
