School Board Meeting Agenda

Can you speak at Board Meetings?

Yes!  Everyone has the right to speak at public Board Meetings – it is the democratic process in action.  When you enter the Board Room, fill out the yellow slip on the conference table and hand it to the office manager.

• When your name is called, approach the podium.  Once you start speaking, you have a 3-minute limit.
