Public Comment 10 minutes

Our Public Comment period is for members of the public to address the board. Each member of the public may sign up to comment at the meeting, and will be allotted two minutes. The board will listen, but may not directly respond to any comments. Our meetings are open to the public and public record. As such, if your comment is about a private matter, please contact the board via email, or speak to the board chair privately.

Please find below TMSA Governing Board Meetings Speakers' Policy (located on page 40 of TMSA Governing Board Policy Manual):

The governing board of TMSA welcomes the comments and suggestions from our parents, teachers, staff, and the community. The first item on our agenda is always reserved for Public Comments. Those who wish to speak need to arrive between 6:45 and 7:00 and place their name on the speakers list. Speakers will be allowed up to four minutes to address the board. Up to five speakers may address every meeting. The list is first-come-first-serve. At 7:00, the speaker’s list will be taken by the secretary to the chair, and no more speakers may be added for that meeting.

Virtual Comments were previously allowed to adjust to COVID-19 restrictions. As in person meetings have resumed as of August 2022, all public comments must be made in person.
