This is not meant to be a debating period. Complaints and problems relating to policy matters will be referred to the Superintendent.
The person wishing to address the Board shall, when recognized by the Chairperson of the Board, step up to the rostrum and announce his/her name and address. The Chairperson shall, in the interest of facilitating the business of the Board, limit the amount of time which a member of the public may use in addressing the Board to five minutes, unless the Chairperson, or a majority of the Board determines that a different limit is appropriate.
The Board of Education receives its agenda, and other pertinent information, on the Friday prior to the meeting. The Board, therefore, has had an opportunity to review all this material over the weekend prior to taking action.
