COURTESY
Individuals addressing the Board should take into consideration the rules of common courtesy. The public participation portion of the meeting cannot be used to make personal attacks against a Board member or District employee that are totally unrelated to the manner in which the Board member or employee performs his/her duties. If the comments constitute a complaint against a Board member or employee, the Board member or employee has a right to request a closed hearing.

Complaints shall first be considered through proper channels before being considered by the Board. The Board shall not hear complaints at an open meeting about named District personnel unless the named person requests the Board to hear the complaint at an open session.
