Public Participation
Addressing the Board Regarding Agendized and Non-Agendized Items
You may address the Board regarding any item on the agenda when that item is being considered. If you request to speak about a matter of school district business not on the agenda, you will be invited to make your remarks during the "Public Comment" portion of the agenda. If you wish to address the Board, please complete a yellow speaker card located at the entrance to the meeting room and provide to the recording secretary prior to the discussion of the topic. Individual speakers are limited to 3 minutes and may only speak once on a topic. Public comment will be limited to a total of 20 minutes.
When You Are Recognized to Speak
Please step to the microphone and direct your remarks to the President. Because of the Brown Act, neither the Board nor Administration may respond to items not on the agenda, but may ask clarifying questions only. State law provides for public comment during the course of our meeting; however, we hope that comments and criticism are directed towards issues, not individuals. We ask that all speakers be respectful of our public employees.
