Address the School Board

Submit comments on any matter

Address the Board in person

The signup form will be available on the Friday before each monthly School Board meeting and speakers must sign up by 4:30 p.m. on the day before the monthly meeting.

There will be a Public Forum during the monthly meeting for interested citizens to address the Board in person on any matter of concern about the school division. Citizens are required to sign up in advance via an online form or by calling the Clerk by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 22nd. Speakers who sign up in advance may not transfer their speaking spot to another individual. To ensure the School Board the opportunity to hear from as many constituents as possible, it is requested that only one member of each household reserve a spot to speak. Individuals providing public comment on behalf of a group may speak and then provide the Board hard copies of written comments from each member of their group. Each speaker will be limited to two minutes.

Sign up to speak at the next public forum

The Board may hold closed sessions at times during work sessions. View meeting agendas by going to BoardDocs. Public comments can be about any topic, not just those listed on the agenda.
