Request for Public Comment
Per Board Policy 4105
OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED
Members of the public will not be recognized by the Chair as the Board conducts its official business except when the Board schedules a public discussion period on a particular item.
3 MINUTE TIME PER SPEAKER
Public participation will be limited to the time allotted on the agenda. Each speaker will be limited to 3 minutes. If there is a large number of patron comments, individual time limits may be reduced and the board may limit the number of patrons allowed to speak.
NO RESPONSE FROM BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Because of the diversity of issues, members of the Board will not respond to public comment. Instead, issues may be recorded and referred to the proper staff person for follow-up.
REFRAIN FROM PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS
Public comments shall refrain from including personal identifiers in relation to students, e.g. names of students, individual education
plans, etc.
MEETING DISRUPTIONS
The presiding officer may call for the removal of any person who willfully disrupts a meeting to the extent that orderly conduct is seriously compromised. Defamatory or abusive remarks are always out of order.
TERMINATION OF PRIVILEGES
The presiding officer may terminate the speaker's privilege of address if, after being called to order, the speaker persists in improper conduct or remarks.
