Public Comments Requiring Additions to the Agenda: To present a public comment at a Board meeting that requires an addition to the board agenda,  a written request must be submitted to the Superintendent of Schools via the Board Secretary at least four (4) days before a Board meeting. 

The request shall contain the following information:

Helpful Tips: 

- If speaking as part of a group who shares the same interest, consider electing a spokesperson to speak on behalf of the group.

- Public comments are an opportunity to share thoughts with the board, but are not meant to be question and answer periods; please understand that the Board may not respond to comments or questions. 

- Students and staff have privacy rights; please refrain from using identifying names or descriptions in public comments. We appreciate your commitment to the privacy of our students and staff.
