  • Public Comment

There is always an opportunity for public comment at school board meetings. At committee meetings, members of the public are given an opportunity to speak before the board discusses each agenda item. Unlike regular board meetings, there is no need to sign up in advance. Members of the public are typically allowed two minutes to speak, but time given may be shorter if there are a large number of speakers.
