5. PUBLIC COMMENT
Description:
The meeting will now be opened to receive public comment. We value the time and initiative members of the public take to share their thoughts with the Board. 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 District's website. Those who have completed a comment request will now be called (in the order they were received) to turn on their video and microphones to address the Board. Once their comment is complete, they are asked to mute themselves and turn off their cameras. Please note that speakers will have three minutes to express their thoughts.
