Open Forum for Community Input Open Forum is a time for members of the community to give input at a board meeting regarding school district issues or concerns. Individuals who want to speak should fill out an Open Forum request and give it to the Board Secretary prior to Open Forum. The Board will not act on any issue presented during Open Forum, if it was not published as an agenda item. The Iowa Open Meetings Law prohibits action on any issue that is not on the agenda. The President will set the amount of time allowed for individuals to speak during Open Forum. The Board asks that no charges or complaints be made against individual employees of the District or community during Open Forum. Remarks that reflect negatively on the character or motives of any person will be called out of order. The Board is appreciative of the community s interest in our deliberation regarding school boundaries and open enrollment. We value input that will allow us to make a thoughtful decision in the educational best interest of our students. However, remarks that reflect negatively upon specific schools or disparage the students and staff assigned to those schools will be called out of order and the speaker will be asked to conclude their remarks immediately. 4
