Members of the community are invited and encouraged to attend meetings of the Goochland County School Board to observe its deliberations. Any member of the community may address the School Board on matters related to the Goochland County public schools at any regular meeting as provided in the accompanying regulation. Persons wishing to address the School Board are requested to contact the superintendent, the School Board chair or their designee for placement on the agenda.

The chair is responsible for the orderly conduct of the meeting and rules on such matters as the appropriateness of the subject being presented and length of time for such presentation. Upon recognition by the chair, the speaker shall address the chair and if, at the conclusion of the speaker’s remarks, any member of the School Board desires further information, the member will address the speaker only with the permission of the chair. No one is allowed to make additional presentations until everyone who wishes to speak has an opportunity to make an initial presentation.

A reasonable period of time, as determined by the School Board Chair, will be allocated at each regular meeting for community members to present matters of concern.
