Welcome to tonight’s Board of Education meeting. Board meetings are generally held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. An agenda for this evening’s meeting is on the reverse side of this page.

We will have a period of time devoted to “Community Reaction” at the start of tonight’s session and at the end of the public portion of our meeting. Individuals will be permitted to speak up to 3 minutes. At total of 15 minutes will be allowed for public comment.

During the first “Community Reaction” time, only remarks related to items on tonight’s agenda will be allowed. The second “Community Reaction” time, remarks can reflect any school-related subject.

Some advice for making the most of this time:

Ø State your name and address for the record

¨This will allow us to send information to you if the need should arise

Ø Be concise so your message can be delivered in the 3 minute time frame

¨This will give others the opportunity to be heard

Ø Discussions involving individual District personnel or students are not permitted in public session

¨Matters involving District personnel or students should be addressed with the Administration

Ø All speakers are to conduct themselves in a civil manner

¨Obscene language, libelous statements, threats of violence, statements advocating racial, religious, or other forms of prejudice will not be tolerated

The Board is present to hear your comments tonight but may refrain from commenting until we have had an opportunity to thoughtfully reflect on what you have said. If your comments require a response from the Board, we will follow-up with the response in an appropriate manner.

We thank you for your input and comments and encourage you to attend the Board meetings on a regular basis. If you feel uncomfortable speaking to the Board in public, please feel free to submit your comments in writing to the Superintendent. These comments will then be given to the Board in their next meeting packet.

Again, thank you for your participation in this democratic process.
