For those who wish to speak to the Board, please note the following: You are given three separate opportunities to speak. The first is during "Public Comment" on a topic not included in the agenda but pertaining to the general business of the district, and this opportunity occurs after adjournment of regular meetings. The second is on one or more agenda items upon which the Board will vote, and this opportunity occurs after the special order agenda at regular meetings and as appropriate at special meetings. The third is at public hearings, such as budget hearings and second readings on Board policy, when you are able to speak during the public hearing and regarding the topic of the public hearing. In each case, you Must register to speak with the Superintendent’s designee at the entrance to the meeting room as described below; Must register prior to the time the Chairperson calls for speakers for that speaking opportunity or before the last speaker for that opportunity concludes their comments, whichever is later; Will be called in the order you registered with the Superintendent's designee; Will be allotted three (3) minutes, which may only be extended with the approval of the chairperson or a majority vote of the Board; and May not yield your time to any other person. To avoid repetition, speakers supporting or opposing the same issue are encouraged to designate a spokesperson and have the spokesperson request that members of the audience supporting the position stand during the presentation. The following additional procedures apply depending upon the specific speaking opportunity: If a speaker wants to supplement their three (3) minute presentation, the speaker should provide the Board office with written materials prior to the meeting. Board members will make every effort to review these materials. Board members may not be able to review materials received less than two (2) business days prior to the Board meeting. The Board will not act on any matter raised by a speaker prior to the next regular meeting. If a majority of the Board desires to further consider a matter raised by a speaker, they will request the Superintendent to bring a recommendation at a future workshop or meeting or otherwise address the issue. It is generally the Board's practice not to respond to the issues brought forward by speakers except to correct inaccuracies or clarify issues. Speakers may not use any of the speaking opportunities to advertise or otherwise promote the interests of any commercial or other non-school organizations, except when recognizing school or district partners or when one of the exceptions in Policy 9700.01 applies. Further, no speaker may advertise or otherwise promote a political candidate, question or party.
