The Board recognizes the value of written comments on educational issues and the importance of involving members of the public in its meetings. Written comments submitted by noon on Tuesday prior to the public board meeting will be forwarded to the School Board for review. Comments from the public are taken under Board advisement and may or may not receive a response. Topics, including charges or complaints against employees, employment or dismissal of personnel, acquisition of real estate, lawyer-client relationships, campaigning and parameters for negotiations, should not be discussed in your comment. Other information, questions or problems can usually be addressed by district staff.


We ask that everyone adhere and understand these guidelines:

• A written submission to the school board is considered a public document and are subject to a public records request.
• Writing should be courteous and professional. Please refrain from using profanity, vulgar language, threatening or defamatory comments. As a reminder, individuals are not permitted to name a specific staff member, board member or student. Failure to do so may result in the Board President or designee redacting comments that violate these rules and/or not publishing the comment until it is revised by the sender.

The Written Comment process is as follows:

• Only written comments submitted by noon on Tuesday prior to the public board meeting will be forwarded to the School Board for review.
  
• Please address comments to the School Board as a whole.
• Please limit your submission to 500 words or less.
• Written comments will NOT be read out loud during the board meeting but the topic will be noted in the board meeting minutes (Policy 1440 Minutes of Board Meetings).
