 Members of the public are always welcome to attend.

 Public comment:  Instructions for addressing the Board of Directors. 

Agendized Items: Any person may address the Board concerning any item on the agenda and may, at the discretion of the Board, address the Board at the time the specific item is under discussion or during public comments. Individual speakers will be allowed three (3) minutes to address the Board. The total time devoted to public testimony on agenda items shall not exceed twenty-minutes (20). The Chair of the Board may grant additional time for an individual to address the Board if circumstances permit. The Chair may curtail individual presentations if repetitive of points raised by others, particularly if it appears the total allotted time may be exceeded. 

All presentations shall be heard by the Board prior to the formal discussion of the agenda topic by the Board and consideration of action. 

   Non-Agendized Items: The public may address the Board on any item not listed on the Board meeting agenda. Individual speakers will be limited to three (3) minutes to address the Board. No more than a total of fifteen (15) minutes shall be devoted to all non-agenda items at a regular meeting. The Chair may disallow a request to address the Board if repetitive of other speakers, or if the speaker seeks to make a presentation that he or another speaker has made at a previous meeting, particularly if it appears that the total allotted time may be exceeded. 

Members of the public desiring Board action on a matter are encouraged to seek placement of the matter on the Board agenda in accordance with policy rather than presenting the matter during “Oral Communications” as Board action may not be taken on non-agenda items. This will facilitate discussion and expedite resolution of the matter. 

Members of the public attempting to make complaints or charges against an employee before the Board in open session will be referred to the appropriate staff for the purpose of receiving a complaint form and filing a complaint under UPCS’ established complaint procedures.

 A member of the public wishing to place an item on the agenda should notify the University Preparation School office at least eight (8) days prior to the meeting date OR make such a request when future agenda items are addressed.

UPCS provides members of the public with reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and the Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA") to enable public participation in Board meetings and activities.  Interested members of the public must contact the school to request an accommodation no later than twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the meeting. 

In accordance with Education Code 35145.5, the Board cannot enter a formal discussion or make a decision on any matter not on the agenda.  The Board may take action or refer to a later meeting any subject discussed in the presentation at the Board of Directors' meeting.

Board packets are available upon request in the front office 24 hours prior to the meeting OR at the meeting entrance on the day of the meeting.
