5. PUBLIC COMMENT
Description:
We will now open the meeting to public comment. We value the time and initiative members of the public take to share their thoughts with the board. Please note that speakers will have three minutes to express their thoughts. The board’s role during public comment is to listen; if there is follow-up necessary, we will direct our Superintendent to do so. Remember that we all model the way for our students, and we ask that everyone share their thoughts in a respectful way. Finally, the law prohibits us from hearing complaints against employees in a public meeting. If comments include a complaint about a specific person, please follow the complaint policy which can be found on the table next to the comment cards. If there is anyone in attendance at this time, who has filled out a public comment card and wishes to address the Board, please step forward and state your name and address.
