6. PUBLIC COMMENT
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 respectfully. Should any public comment include complaints regarding a personally identifiable District staff member, the Board chair will 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. Those who have completed a public comment card will be called one at a time to step forward (or turn on their cameras/mics) and state their name and relationship to the District. Please note that speakers will have three minutes to express their thoughts.
To submit questions for a follow-up response, please complete the form available near the room entrance or via this link QUESTIONS |
