The Board’s role during public comment is not to immediately respond, but 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. Should any public comment include complaints regarding a personally identifiable District staff member, the Board chair may direct the speaker to the proper administrative process found in Board policy KL which can be found on the table near the entrance of the room and on the District's website.
