Public Comment

Public Comments - Committee Chair

Transparency: Committee meetings are a public forum to provide transparency into the governance of the school. Engagement from the community is strongly encouraged and vital to that governance.

Time Limit: A total of 30 minutes shall be set aside for public comment. Each speaker will have a maximum of 3 minutes to speak. A speaker may not sign up to speak more than once during the same public comment period.


Board Action: Committee members shall not provide responses nor engage in direct conversation with speakers during public comments. The committee will bring the matter to the board to engage the Head of School or the Chief Financial Officer in responding at a later time as necessary and appropriate.


Civil Discourse: Speakers are encouraged to maintain decorum and present their comments in a civil manner. The committee reserves the right to request any speaker engaging in personal attacks, or the use of obscene or derogatory language, to restate their position in a manner more appropriate for a school environment.


No public comment.
