The school board encourages public participation at its meetings. To allow for efficiency in conducting meetings and to give each speaker a fair opportunity to present their views, the following shall apply to the public speaking portion of the agenda:

• Each speaker shall state their name.
• Each speaker shall be limited to a time agreed upon by the Board (5 minutes).
• The Board will not permit discussion involving individual personnel or students.
• Direct all remarks to chair. Community members may not poll individual board members nor debate other community members in attendance.

Members of the community are encouraged to also present their comments in writing.
Undue interruption or other interference with the orderly conduct of the Board of Education business will not be allowed. Defamatory or abusive remarks are always out of order.
