VI. PUBLIC ADDRESS TO THE BOARD
The Board appreciates the public sharing their views, concerns and commendations, and the members will be listening carefully. The Superintendent will follow up with individuals as appropriate. If the speaker has some printed information to share with Board members, the items should be handed to the Board Clerk, Sonya Potter, who will be responsible for distribution. The Board allows for two (2) thirty minute periods – one early in the agenda and one at the end. Presentations will be limited to three (3) minutes per individual. A “clock” is displayed on the screen to allow the speaker to know when his/her time is up. The speaker is expected to stop when the countdown is complete. Speakers are asked to be respectful and refrain from discussing concerns or complaints about individual personnel or students. The chairman will have the responsibility to determine if an item is inappropriate and to rule the speaker out of order, if necessary.
