Up to fifteen speakers will be allotted three minutes each to speak.

However, the board may ask administration to review the concern(s) presented. 
Speakers must present their testimony in a respectful manner. Vulgarity, character attacks, malice or specific complaints identifying staff or students by name or implication will not be permitted.
