By Speaking:

Members of the public are welcome to address the Board during the designated agenda item, "Opportunity for Visitors." Individuals are asked to limit their remarks to no more than 3 minutes.

We ask the public, in its comments, to refrain from making any direct references to students or staff members that could be considered critical of their performance or their character. Such references to individual students or staff members are inappropriate in a public forum and should instead be conducted in private conversation with appropriate members of the staff.

Please note that questions regarding the day-to-day operations of the School District will be referred to the Superintendent of Schools, who oversees such matters. If your concern relates to daily operations, you may find it helpful to contact the Superintendent’s Office before attending a Board meeting, as many issues can be resolved in that manner.

At Special Board meetings, audience participation may be permitted at the discretion of the Board President.
