If you have special concerns

Most often, individual concerns can best be handled if you begin at the source and follow proper channels before approaching members of the Board of Education. If your concern relates to procedures in the classroom, begin with the teacher and/or principal. Finally, if these procedures do not resolve your concern or question, participate in the public comment portion of the Board meeting.

Public Comments

The Board of Education works for the citizens of the District; therefore, your input is always welcome. At every Board meeting, time is set aside for public comments. Anyone may address the Board at this time. Board policy limits the speaking time of each person addressing the Board to three minutes. A signup sheet is available at the Board table before the start of the meeting.

How to address the Board

At the appropriate time in the meeting, the President will indicate that persons interested in speaking to the Board will be recognized. The president will call on those who have signed up to address the Board. When you are recognized, please state your name and address, and indicate the issue you want to address.

Resolving Concerns

Because issues and concerns require review and deliberation by the Board if good decisions are to be made, no immediate answers to public comments are made by Board members. The usual procedure is for the Board to listen to public comments, take note of the issues, and instruct the administration to make contact with the concerned citizen to seek a satisfactory solution. Although the administration is required to report back to the Board, the report is not necessarily presented at a public meeting. The board requests that personnel issues be directed through the proper channels, which can be done by contacting the central office at (989) 642-5282.
