Description:
Up to fifteen speakers will be allotted three minutes each to speak.

The board will not deliberate, discuss, or engage in conversation with speakers. However, the board may ask administration to review the concern(s) presented. Speakers must present their testimony in a respectful manner. Vulgarity, character attacks, malice or specific complaints identifying staff or students by name or implication will not be permitted.
