The Board President conducts the meeting and may change the order of the agenda if needed. The President may call upon the Superintendent or other staff members for reports and information or recognize others in the audience who wish to comment. There is a time toward the beginning of the Board meeting for audience participation. Those wishing to address the Board must sign up on the sheet provided at the beginning of the meeting. Individuals may address the Board on agenda items as well as non-agenda items. Speakers will be recognized by the Board President at the time they are to speak.

Each speaker has a maximum of 3 minutes and may not transfer their time to another speaker. No more than 30 minutes is allowed for a single subject except with the unanimous consent of the Board. The Board President may interrupt or terminate an individual’s statement when it is too lengthy, personally directed, irrelevant, or abusive. The Board as a whole has the final decision on such matters.

Complaints concerning District employees or other individuals may not be addressed orally at the meeting. Such complaints must be signed and presented to the Board in writing. Executive sessions may then be granted for a hearing. Questions or concerns about instructional practices or materials should be directed to the Superintendent for appropriate referral.

For further information, contact Nancy Merry at 360-676-6501.
