The Board encourages courteous and respectful public comment at Board Meetings. All speakers must conduct themselves in a respectful manner. 

 

Those wishing to speak are reminded that this is a business meeting of the Board held in public; it is not a public meeting.

 

Those wishing to speak are encouraged to contact the District Clerk at least 24 hours prior to the meeting with the topic they plan to discuss.  

 

At the meeting those wishing to speak are required to sign in indicating their name, town (affirming they are a District resident), and the topic upon which they wish to speak.

 

Speakers shall identify themselves and their town of residence before proceeding with comments.

 

The Board will designate a specific portion of its meeting agenda for public comment for a period of up to 30 minutes and will restrict each speaker to 5 minutes only.

 

The Board will not engage in debate or discussion with the public. Any questions raised by the public during the public comment periods will be replied to by the Superintendent or appropriate District representative at a later date.

 

Public comments that relate to personnel matters and/or discipline issues that reveal the identity of specific individuals either directly or indirectly are prohibited. Persons wishing to discuss these matters shall submit their concerns to the District Clerk, in writing during regular District business hours. 

 

The Board reserves the right to end the public session if these rules are not adhered to.
