BOARD BYLAW 9323 The Stockton Unified School District Board of Trustees has adopted Board Bylaw 9323 which prescribes the rules governing public participation at board meetings and public hearings. The three-minute limitation prescribed by Board Bylaw 9323 is responsible because it accords members of the public an equal opportunity to present their views while insuring that the hearings are conducted in an orderly and efficient manner. “Individual speakers shall be allowed three minutes to address the Board on each agenda or non-agenda item. The Board shall limit the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes. With Board consent, the president may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation, depending on the topic and the number of persons wishing to be heard. The president may take a poll of speakers for or against a particular issue and may ask that additional persons speak only if they have something new to add.” TAPING Board of Education meetings are taped and subject to being videotaped. THE GOVERNING BOARD IS THE UNIT OF AUTHORITY. APART FROM THE NORMAL FUNCTION AS PART OF THE UNIT, THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE NO INDIVIDUAL AUTHORITY. Board comments should be clear and concise. We want people to understand what we are saying; therefore, we should convey our ideas in a brief and simple manner. We should remember that whenever a choice is to be made between a simple solution and a complex one, the tendency is to choose the one that is less complex. Therefore, the best rule is to speak sparingly and simply during Board discussions. CA Education Code 32210 . Any person who willfully disturbs any public school or any public school meeting is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500).
