It's time to speak to our school board members! In order to speak, you need to fill out this form. Be sure to email the form to [email protected] no later then the Monday prior to the meeting, by 4:30 pm.

Agenda Item: If you wish to speak about an agenda item, please be present by 1:30 pm. The order of thins is very fluid when it comes to the agenda items, so I suggest being there as soon as you can to be sure you're not skipped. 

Public Hearing: shall begin no later than approximately 6:30 p.m.  The Chair may begin calling speakers who are present immediately following the conclusion of the regular agenda.  The public hearing shall not conclude before 4:30 p.m., unless all of the speakers signed up to speak are present and have been given the opportunity to speak. In other words, so long as you are there before 4:30pm, you will be given your chance to speak during the public hearing. You will be given 3 minutes to speak.

Timeline of events: School board meeting starts at 11:00 am with ceremonial proclamations. They then break for 1-hour. During this break, you will be asked to leave the school board building to wait for the meeting to resume. Once they resume, they will go in alphabetic order as to the agenda items.

Pertinent Issue: Item G4(a) & (b) where it states the following: 

3. To maintain order and ensure that each meeting is accessible and appropriate for its intended audience, including students in grades K12, speakers and audience members may not use any form of profanity, engage in boisterous behavior, or make abusive comments or threats. Comments that are pornographic in nature or otherwise depict or describe sexual conduct are also prohibited. For purposes of this policy:

a. abusive comments include, but are not limited to, those that a reasonable person would determine: (i) are intended to cause intimidation, humiliation, or distress; (ii) would result in substantial physical harm or substantial psychological harm as a result of intimidation, humiliation, or distress; or (iii) exploit someone's known physical or psychological disability; and

b. threats include, but are not limited to, comments meant to frighten or intimidate one or more specified persons into believing they will be harmed by the speaker or someone acting at the speaker's behest.

Anyone who attended the LGBTQ History Month meeting will appreciate these changes to the rules of Decorum.
