Public Verbal Comments This communication opportunity is included on the agenda of each regular Board meeting, so citizens may make suggestions or identify concerns about matters affecting the school district or request that an item be placed on a future agenda. As a reminder, the Governing Board meetings are a business meeting of the board held in public and, although public participation is encouraged, it is not the public’s meeting. The Jurupa Unified School District Board of Education encourages and invites the public to comment on items listed on the agenda or on matters within its subject jurisdiction. Public speakers have a right to their own opinions, and neither Board Members nor staff will be responding to those opinions or answering questions. The district’s silence should not be mistaken for agreement, but simply to avoid legal entanglements and/or to protect the privacy of situations that may involve lawsuits, employee discipline, or dismissal. Please be assured that any serious allegations have been or will be investigated thoroughly. Any responses from the Board will take place during Board Member comments. Each speaker will be given 3 minutes to speak, and comments will be limited to a total of 20 minutes per topic.
