NOTE: The board recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and the importance of involving members of the public in its meetings. We ask that any comment relating to an individual employee be given in the Executive Session of the Board, or to the Superintendent or appropriate administrator. It is our intent not to slander or allow suspicions to be cast on District employees during a public meeting, but that concerns regarding individuals be dealt with appropriately.
As per Policy 1620/1620P: "The board will listen to the information and opinions presented and through the superintendent, provide answers to questions, but is under no obligation to take action by audience request." Individuals not in attendance may not have someone else read their letter aloud to the board during Public Comments. However, such a letter may be given to the board for review. Please remember that we do not respond directly to public comments made at the meeting.
