The Board of Trustees remains committed to hearing from students, parents, staff, community members and other stakeholders.   Individuals wishing to address the Board of Trustees during Open Forum are required to sign-up by 12:00 p.m. on the day before the meeting.

Each speaker has a time limit of one (1) to three (3) minutes, which will be decided at the Board Meeting by the Presiding Officer in order to accomodate all registered speakers and effectively manage the meeting.

Please note the following guidelines for Open Forum comments:
• Each individual or delegation shall only sign up to speak one time.  If multiple sign-ups are submitted by an individual or delegation, the first sign-up will be allowed to speak.
• A submission from a delegation is allowed, but will receive the same time limit as individual comments.
• Anonymous sign-ups will not be accepted.
• No sign-ups will be accepted that are spam or computer/bot-generated (not from an individual or from an email account that returns the email confirmation).
- All Open Forum speakers are expected to comply with conduct expectations at the Board Meeting. Disruptive conduct shall not be permitted at any Eanes ISD Board meeting, nor will any defamatory or abusive remarks be tolerated. In accordance with Board Policy, if, after at least one warning from the presiding officer, any individual continues to disrupt the meeting by his or her words or actions, the presiding officer may request assistance from law enforcement officials to have the individual removed from the meeting.

Please be aware that the audio of Open Forum is recorded as part of the recording of the entire meeting and is published on the District's website without alteration. A person who chooses to speak in Open Forum is consenting to the online publication of their comments.

Specific factual information and recitation of existing policy may be furnished in response to inquiries, but the Board cannot deliberate regarding any subject that is not included on the agenda.
