Public Comment

The Board welcomes public input on district-related topics at its meetings. A public comment period is held at the beginning of each meeting and is intended for community members to share their thoughts, this time is not intended to be a dialog with the board.

How to provide public comment:

In person: Complete a public comment card and submit it to staff at the back of the room.
Virtually (Zoom): Use the “Raise Hand” feature before the meeting begins. Speakers will be called in the order requests are received. Please turn on your camera and microphone when speaking.

Guidelines:

Comments are limited to three minutes per speaker.
If questions arise, Board or staff follow‑up will occur after the meeting.
Written materials related to in‑person comments must be submitted at least 48 hours before the meeting to allow for Board review. Materials received later will be shared with the Board after the meeting and may be reviewed after Board action.
