March 19, 2020 at 6:00 PM - Regular Session

Description:  The Regular Session of the North Santiam School District’s Board of Directors is called to order at 6:00 pm. It is an open meeting of the Board and the public is allowed to observe. On the agenda is a place for public comment. Those in attendance that wish to address the Board during this time must complete a public comment card and present it to the Board Secretary, Tonia Whisman. These orange cards are available on the table at the door. Speakers may offer objective criticism of school operations and programs however, the law prohibits the Board from hearing complaints regarding any personally identifiable District staff member. The Board asks that anyone wishing to communicate a complaint of this manner follow the proper administrative process in Board policy KL (Public Complaints). This information is available at the table near the entrance and also on the District website.

Description:  The meeting will now be opened to receive public comment. We value the time and initiative members of the public take to share their thoughts with the Board. The Board’s role during public comment is not to immediately respond, but to listen. If there is follow-up necessary, we will direct our Superintendent to do so. Remember that we all model the way for our students, and we ask that everyone share their thoughts in a respectful way. Should any public comment include complaints regarding a personally identifiable District staff member, the Board chair may direct the speaker to the proper administrative process found in Board policy KL which can be found on the table near the entrance of the room and on the District's website. Anyone who has filled out a public comment card is now asked to step forward and state their name and address. Please note that speakers will have three minutes to express their thoughts.
