Speaking at Board Meetings
Any
person wishing to appear before the School Board must file a written
request with the director of schools (10) days prior to the School Board
meeting. This request of being placed on the agenda must include an
explanation of the reason for the request in order to give the director
and Board members time to research the nature and details of the
situation surrounding this request. If approved, each citizen will be
given two minutes to address the Board. Any person wishing to discuss
or make comment concerning any item on the agenda must sign-up on a form
provided at each Board meeting. Comments must be directed only toward
that particular item on the agenda.
Board Meeting Etiquette
Rude
behavior from spectators is not tolerated. Flash photography is only
permitted during special recognitions. Audience members are requested to
turn off or vibrate cell phones and to leave the room to carry on
conversations.
