2 WELCOME! Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to join us. We appreciate your presence and involvement. The Agenda We review a draft agenda prior to our meetings. The agenda may deal with curriculum, budget, personnel, facilities, school transportation and/or long-range planning. It includes supporting materials to assist us with decisions. Additionally, you have the opportunity to speak during the Public Comment portion of our agenda. We welcome your comments; however, we do ask that you abide by the guidelines of our Policy Public Participation at Board Meetings The Board of Education recognizes the value to school governance of public comment on educational issues and the importance of allowing members of the public to express themselves on school matters of community interest. In order to permit the fair and orderly expression of such comment, the Board shall provide a period for public participation at every regular meeting of the Board and at those public meetings of the Board during which action may be taken and publish rules to govern such participation in Board meetings. The presiding officer of each Board meeting at which public participation is permitted shall administer the rules of the Board for its conduct. The presiding officer shall be guided by the following rules: A. Public participation may be permitted 1. as indicated on the order of business. 2. before the Board takes official action on any issue of substance. 3. at the discretion of the presiding officer.

3 Public Participation at Board Meetings (continued) B. Anyone having a legitimate interest in the actions of the Board may participate during the public portion of a meeting. C. Attendees may register their intention to participate in the public portion of the meeting upon their arrival at the meeting. D. No participant may speak more than once on the same topic unless all others who wish to speak on that topic have been heard. E. The presiding officer may: 1. interrupt, warn, or terminate a participant's statement when the statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant; 2. request any individual to leave the meeting when that person does not observe reasonable decorum; 3. request the assistance of law enforcement officers in the removal of a disorderly person when that person's conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting; 4. call for a recess or an adjournment to another time when the lack of public decorum so interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting as to warrant such action; 5. waive these rules.
