It is an open meeting of the Board and the public is allowed to observe in-person and via livestream on YouTube except for Executive Session agenda items. On the agenda is a place for public comment. Those attending in-person that wish to address the Board during this time must complete a public comment request available near the room entrance prior to this point in the agenda. Those attending virtually must have registered online prior to 4:00 pm in order to receive the Zoom meeting link.

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 anyone wishing to communicate a complaint of this manner to follow the proper administrative process in Board policy KL (Public Complaints). This information is available on the District website.

In even-numbered years, member boards vote to elect regional representatives for odd-numbered positions on the OSBA Board of Directors, and to approve the OSBA Legislative Priorities and Principles.
