   Instructions for those who wish to speak during citizen comment time: The Board of Education recognizes the importance of citizen participation in school district matters. In order to assure citizens are heard and board meetings are conducted efficiently and in an organized manner, the board shall set time aside for citizen participation at all regular monthly board meetings. To address the Board, citizens must provide their name and address on the sign-in sheet immediately upon entering the meeting, and when called, come forward to the table situated immediately in front of the board. Citizens may speak only one time and must limit comments to five (5) minutes or less if there are several members of the public present to speak. If you are planning to speak about a personnel or student matter involving an individual, please understand that board policies require that such concerns initially be directed to the administration for consideration. Board members will generally not respond to any questions you ask or comments you may make about individual staff members or students. You are cautioned that slanderous comments are not protected just because they are made at a board meeting. Please remember this is a public meeting for the conduct of the business of the Board of Education. Offensive language, personal attacks and hostile conduct will not be tolerated. The Board President may order persons who are disorderly to be removed from the meeting. Recording of the meeting is allowed, except for executive (closed) sessions, provided that the Board President is notified, and that the recording device does not interfere with the meeting.
