III. COMMENTS FROM VISITORS
Description:
Citizens may sign up, in advance of the meeting, to make comments to the board. Note: there is a New Sign Up sheet for Speakers. Citizens should either contact the superintendent’s assistant (Marcia Leach 357-2010) one week prior to the meeting or sign-in just prior to the meeting with the sheet provided in the rear of the board room. Citizens may not address individual personnel concerns or other items that might infringe on the rights and privileges of others.
PROPOSED ACTION: Board members should listen to the viewpoint(s) presented. Unless the specific item is listed elsewhere on the agenda, and in accordance with the law, the board must refrain from further discussion or action. Here is a condensed statement that the Board President might choose to read before speakers present their views. It is a paraphrased version of the longer Walsh/Anderson text supplied to us previously: Under district policy BED Local, citizens may address the Board by contacting the superintendent’s office prior to the meeting or by signing up just before this meeting began tonight, using the sheet provided for that purpose. That sign-up sheet is located at the entrance to this Board Room. This item on the agenda provides a time for citizens, staff, or students to provide their comments to the Board. No personal attacks or complaints against members of the community or employees will be permitted during this public comment period. Complaints against employees are governed by Board Policy GF Local, which generally requires such subjects to be placed on the agenda in Closed Session under the personnel section and only after the appropriate steps (chain of command) has been followed. In the interest of time, those individuals who speak are permitted to do so for a maximum of 5 minutes. Groups of people may designate one spokesperson for a group. Normally, the entire public comment section is limited to no more than 30 minute. Please remember we have a long agenda tonight. We appreciate your commitment to the schools by attending and participating in tonight’s meeting! IF SOMEONE BEGINS MAKING INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS: I’m sorry, but I must ask you to discuss only those issues that do not involve individual personnel, noting that Board policy and state law stipulates that personnel items are discussed in Executive Session unless specifically authorized by the person about whom a complaint is made – and with the assent of the Board. This will ensure that both your rights and their rights are protected. According to Board policy, any individual personnel concerns should be addressed at the lowest level possible and may be appealed to the Board after all such requirements have been met. If you will speak with the superintendent after tonight’s meeting, he will be glad to answer any questions you might have about the most appropriate steps for resolving any personnel issues you may have. If you would like to continue speaking, please do so, but we request that you avoid any comments about individual personnel. Thank you. |
